Thanks Babe
LOL!  It's kind of a joke here at home.  I don't get mad often but when I do everyone hides.

OK Joe
Wow you are here early today!  I kind of wonder about the meltdown being contagious though.

I am convinced he has some purpose here even if it is just to be a pain in my butt!

No. When I wrote that I thought you were still here.
If Joe has a meltdown, you'll know it.

It's a unique experience.  It's tough to describe what it's like as in many ways it's ever changing.  Thank you.

Did you go melting down on me while I was sleeping?

bel, neat conversation! I do think people can be just as influential at
times as the angels in keeping others safe through their presence, love and prayers.  But I still believe in the angels, too!  It just shows that Carl has a purpose beyond what anyone might yet know!

I, too, believe in the protective influence of spirit. I've seen it work in my life many times as well. I'm glad that your family is well intact. Have a Merry Christmas.

Maybe it was a combination

You and the angels.

bel, I feel a higher power was watching over our son while he was over there.  He received a couple of commendations for bravery for his service there.  I didn't know anything about it till after he was home.  Thank God we got him back.  Thank God he's retired now.

I believe in angels too.  We were both very fortunate.

Great conversation...

I'm kind of glad kids don't see the ugly side of life....Pam will grow up and see it for herself soon enough...

I hope you and Carl find your God-given purpose and live it out.

Bel -
A great story! I too have had too many things happen to me that should have taken me across the River Styxx, but here I sit typing away. We all have angels watching over us, and as long as we listen to them and let them do their jobs, we'll be fine.

Hey... I say, whatever works!!
Just glad someone was watching.
