It's so hard to believe it was five years ago today that we lost Peter. I think of him all the time now, and I miss him so much. Some days, it's almost unbarable, and I can't breathe. We didn't speak much after I broke things off with him, but I understand if he felt he couldn't. I know it hurt him... Sign in to see full entry.

Dear Mum and Gran, I hope you’ll forgive me for writing to you both in one letter, but for now, it’s the easiest way. They’re keeping us on our toes in training at the moment. Please stop worrying about the food situation here. The food is by no means to die for, but the couple of blokes who cook... Sign in to see full entry.

It took him nearly three weeks to answer their letters. Not that he was trying to put them off. The training exercises got more intense as the time went by, and he fell asleep as soon as he lay down almost every night. He gave their messages to Chad, who asked him to please ask his Mum to let his... Sign in to see full entry.

Hi everyone... I'd like to ask for prayers for some people I don't even know. Yesterday morning, there was a horrible accident here in my state involving a car and a school bus. Both vehicles are severely damaged, and the driver of the car is in hospital in very critical condition. While the cause... Sign in to see full entry.

Mum’s first letter arrived just two weeks later. The boys had just finished their training for the day, and he’d just gone for a shower. By the time he’d finished, it was already time for dinner. He changed and was on his way to meet Chad outside when his commanding officer stopped him at the door.... Sign in to see full entry.

Hi everyone... I hope you all had a fabulous weekend! It has been cold here for several days now! I'm soooo looking forward to warm weather! I'm hoping the weather for next Friday will be nice so we can go to a moive. I'm off to help Margaret make dinner and it's also time to give the laptop a... Sign in to see full entry.

To all those who served to fight on that day in 1944, thank you will never be enough for me, but it comes from my heart. You sacrificed so much so that others would no longer be sacrificed. God bless you all. Sign in to see full entry.

My friend and I are still barely speaking to each other. Not that I don't love said person, because I do. I've had to go to face book a few times not because I felt like it, but to check messages. I've had a couple from this friend, but have said as little as possible in return. The reason being-and... Sign in to see full entry.

That first night in recruiting camp, he made friends. After their daily duties were explained and their bunks made up, they were allowed to take the rest of the evening off to get to know one another. Training would begin first light tomorrow. Three or four of the boys already knew how to fly a... Sign in to see full entry.

Yesterday for dinner, we decided to make cheeseburgers. Fabulous as always! Today, we decided to make spaghetti. We can't wait! We're going to start cooking in just a few minutes. Thankfully, we did some of the preperations last night. I have to say, we make fabulous spaghetti! I learned from Mum.... Sign in to see full entry.

What a blessing you all are to me. Thank you all so much for your support for my newest piece of story work. I appreciate this more than you know. I know I don't read here as often as I should, and lately I feel as if perhaps I don't deserve all this friendship and support. I am grateful for it,... Sign in to see full entry.

Three weeks later, just as dawn broke, he woke and made his bed. Then, he had a long hot bath. It would likely be his last for God only knew how long. He dressed, and finally started packing his bags. He was just getting his papers ready when he heard them stirring in the kitchen. They were making... Sign in to see full entry.

“Not my boy!…NOT MY BOY!” Mum began to howl wretchedly as she stared from the piece of paper to her only son and back again. Her pregnancy and his birth had been so difficult for her that she was advised never to have anymore children. “Mum. Oh, God, Mum.” “They can’t take you away from us, can...

Hi everyone... I hope you're all doing well. It's a soggy and raining first day of June here. My little trees are looking as gorgeous as ever, so a little rain is no bother. Today was our pay day, so I'm off to amazon in a few minutes to shop for some household needs. Margaret is going to the... Sign in to see full entry.

Hi everyone... I initially tried to post the next bit of this story last night, but for some reason, it re-posted the prologue. So, I'll try again. I hope it works this time! If it does, please enjoy. If not, my humble apologies. I'll keep trying! RACING TOWARD HEAVEN CHAPTER ONE A SEASON OF SHADOWS... Sign in to see full entry.
