Hello ((((Everyone))))


Thank you for all your replies to my posts during the past week or so. My emotions have been so up and down I have not felt able to reply as much I would like to normally.


I stayed at the house Fri, my husband called just before I left work to say he had to go somewhere, wouldn't take long and was coming back there. Haven't seen or heard from him since. I followed my own plans and cam back to my Mom's after work Saturday. I've been alright, not great but am taking care of myself and trying not to be stuck in my thoughts.


I had a scare today reading the Sunday paper, 2 unid'd men were killed in seperate drunk driving accidents Sat night. The paper said one had no ID the other they an not confirm if his address is valid. I started thinking "what if" ... and turned to then it is my HP's will. Then I started thinking of calling around to see if any family etc has seen or heard from him, and am srill fighting myself on doing this. Patience ... either way there is nothing I can do about it right now and if it is him then I will know in due time.


So I am afraid for him and trying to maintain mental and physical detachment. It's a scary thing. Doing my best to do lots of resding and praying, enjoy my time here and play play play with the dogs.


HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY TO ALL THE MOM'S HERE!!!! I wish you wonderful day!


Jennifer

Something like that in the news challenges your dettachment skills, do the best you can.  Sounds like you are really giving it a good effort and staying busy.  Have a good day!

Hi Josey, Kent & all,


I did have a good day, even in the few moments I needed to fake it.


My AH called yesterday morning. You know I somehow expected his first words to me to be someting other than "How did you get the wheels on the lawn mower not to rub?" LOL


My prayers are with the families who recieved the news I was scared of.


Jennifer
