christmas with grandma carol and papa norm

My parents flew the kids up a few days after we moved to CT. Movers delivered on Monday and we were unpacked and moved in by the end of the week! Kids loved an early Christmas with the Grandparents! Vera got an American Girl doll that looks like her and Charlie got a power wheels dune buggy (he calls dune bugger)!

It is now and again perplexing to simply happen to be handing out secrets and techniques people may have been trying to sell. We really see we have got you to thank for this. The main illustrations you made, the straightforward site menu, the friendships your site make it possible to instill - it's all astounding, and it's really helping our son and us understand this topic is awesome, and that's highly mandatory. Thanks for the whole thing!

Military Wife

I never wore the uniform, no medals on my chest.
The band, it doesn't play for me, I am not among “the Best.”
I do not march in cadence; I do not rate salute,
I stand among the silent ranks, our devotion absolute.
If you've not worn my shoes, you do not know my story.
I live a life of sacrifice, my reward a private glory.
I've wept many silent nights away,
and I've kept the home fires burning.
I've worried and I've waited, as world events were churning. I've moved more times than you could fathom,
left more people than you've known.
I've planted gardens 'round the world,
very few that I've seen grown.
I've grieved with new-made widows,
and had my share of scares -- when a ship or plane or man was down, and all I had were prayers.
I'm not asking for your sympathy, (although appreciation can be nice) I did it quite on purpose --I chose to sacrifice.
I'll tell you a secret now, one you'd never guess.
About the one glory that is mine,
it's just enough -- no more, no less.
When you and I stand together as our national anthem plays, I'll fill with reminiscences of how I spent those days.
I'll know the pain and joys again,
I'll know that freedom isn't free,
I'll know I've helped to pay the price –
and that the anthem plays for me.
