Good Times

From Cat (D#1): Dad is fine, just very tired. He wants to thank you all. He is thrilled at the number of comments because he has never had so many. Add to that all the prayers and love he feels from all of you, it has been a real boost to his spirits.

His blog was giving him challenges and so he posted a test message...and got 8 comments. "I don't usually get that many comments with my regular blog posts and now I get 8 comments with a "test" message." So, even though he is not posting right now, please keep sending him your wishes. It sure makes him smile.

Good hear you are in good spirits, Sarge. But I would expect no less from a Army Warrior. Thanks to D1 for keeping us informed, too. Hang tough, Sarge, but rest when you can.

Pop Pop! Aren't we lucky that we have your Daughter Number ONE to be there with you? She's the very best in the whole wide world. We might be biased, but I think it's true. I know you agree.

I am so glad you're comfortable right now, and you're with the two ladies who love you best. I wish I could be with you, too. But just know that you are always in my heart. I meant it when I said we'd call our first baby Charlie, after you. You are such a special guy.

Your blog is such a gift. All your stories and memories will go on, and we can share them and re-visit them whenever we need to. Thank you for that.

My dog Annie is trying to climb onto my lap because I am crying a little and she is trying to comfort me, but she makes it hard to type! Silly grand-dog.

I just want you to know how much I love you. You're always always in my heart, and I am so thankful for everything you've done for me. Because of you I am married to a great guy, and I've had such a great time seeing the family every year on the cruises. You are so generous and loving. Everyone in the world deserves a pop pop like you.

Love you always!
Ayla

Sarge... take it easy, relax, and don't forget to smile. In the words of Warren Zevon: "Enjoy every sandwich."

Thinking of you (and Ms. Bee) and sending warm positive thoughts your way wrapped up in prayers!

I had a sneaky suspicion that Cat was Visitor #1 who is such a joy and I'm glad to see that I was right. Perhaps there's a career for me as a psychic yet?! Nah, better keep my dispatching job ... :-D

I like what Jim said about "Enjoy every sandwich." I'm thinking that Warren Zevon was a pretty smart guy as sometimes nothing beats a good sammich - especially if you've got a nice slice of still-warm-out-of-the-garden tomato on it and a pickle on the side!

I'm very glad to hear that you're being spoiled by all the ladies - you deserve every minute of it!

Lisa said...

Sheesh. I had been pretty good about not crying. Thinking about you a lot, but no tears. Until... I read your granddaughers comment above. That did it. Hope you are comfortable and enjoying all the much deserved attention. I bet you are LOVING the foot massages and all the doting. Enjoy it. Let them do their job so you can keep doing yours... being you and loving Miss Bee!

Thank you very much for updating, Daughter #1.

Sending you loving thoughts, dear Sarge.

You matter.
You make a difference.

You've made such a positice impact on everyone here, that is clear.

It is wonderful that Ayla is going to name the baby after you - a fitting way for our cherished 'Charlie' to go on.

Hugs and more hugs.
Love,

My dear Sarge,
I haven't visited the blogs for a while ... and look what I missed.
I love you Sarge ... since the day I met you I have felt that way. We are an unlikely pair ... but I know we are FRIENDS.
I think of you every day. I will continue to think of you every day.
I will say it again ...
I love you.
