I will be thinking of you both on the 22nd.<br /><br />As for the watch dilemma - will he know if it is a different watch? If not, then perhaps you can pick up an inexpensive one and let him take that. Mom was losing her good one almost daily. We would find it eventually but looking for it became an exercise in futility some days so I picked up 2 at WalMart and she wears one of them each day. If she loses one we have one in reserve until we find the other one. Same with her glasses - I have 3 old pair in a drawer and ineviably we have to use at least one a week until we can find the pair she lost.<br /><br />My heart is with you...<br />Love NancyAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2022178099827446540.post-88721656818229339732009-06-07T13:01:55.898-07:002009-06-07T13:01:55.898-07:00Hi Latane, so the date is set at last, it will not...Hi Latane, so the date is set at last, it will not be easy but what a good idea to link it to a deployment which was a separation for you at the time .It will help your mind to deal with a traumatic time, I will be thinking and praying for you both.God BlessPeggyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16336168195436906219noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2022178099827446540.post-92072243898672802182009-06-07T07:54:28.346-07:002009-06-07T07:54:28.346-07:00P.S.

Not much will be required in the way of decoration as he doesn't recognize the things here in the house. All except that picture I was telling about. Perhaps we can talk Sunday morning... I went to church last Sunday and missed your skype.Latane Bartonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01745676377589651275noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2022178099827446540.post-39642294974671112692009-06-06T12:39:03.246-07:002009-06-06T12:39:03.246-07:00You are brilliant, Latane.
