Hey Nalt!  It wouldn't feel like home without you here!  I've missed talking to you!

Hey Taz!  Great to see the old gang reuniting.

Don't let Kokopuf fool you.  Remember the rescue border collie that Hedduk loved that died May 12, 2009 (2 days before my birthday - what a downer).  Guess what her name was - just a hint - started with a K.

Gee, my head is expanding by the minute!  Thanks for all the nice things you all said.  
And this is my THIRD post in the last 10 minutes!  I love it here!

   I'm here!  I'm here!  Just returned from Walmart (oh joy ).  I signed up the other day but this feels like old home week now!  Woolyal is not my thing, so gave up on that.  But this feels great!!!  All the old gang right here!

I'll be back but right now I'm off to take a nap!  Seems the perfect weather for it.  I know, eat your heart out all those of you at work!

Dear Dad of 5.

This is my first post on this site too- and what a sad one it is. It is a repetition of what I posted on woolyal because I want to be sure my thoughts reach you.  You who have prayed for so many of us now must face a most difficult time in your life and it is our time to pray for you. It just breaks my heart to think what you must have been through and will go through. You who have been so kind to us, so grounded for us and always expressed such compassion.

It is impossible to find words to express what I want for you and your family - I just so much want you all to be beyond the hurt and pain and I know how hard that will be. But you seem to be the person who can do that and lead your family there. May God bless and be with you as you move through each day. Remember, as I know you do, that your wife will always live with you and your children for love never dies.

And may God wrap her in his loving arms and grant her eternal rest in his Kingdom.

Eternal God, in whom mercy is endless and the treasury of compassion — inexhaustible, look kindly upon us and increase Your mercy in us, that in difficult moments we might not despair nor become despondent, but with great confidence submit ourselves to Your holy will, which is Love and Mercy itself.
