Thank you so much for your dedication, service and sacrifice. May you remain blessed!

I'm sorry the morning sickness followed into your 2nd tri. That is hard. I did get a reprieve but had issues in my 3rd. Each day you push through is awesome! You are doing a great job!

Thank you, Ledonna, for your service. I thought of you on Friday, and also my father who served in WW2, and my brother who served in the 70s.

In today's local paper, on the front page in fact, is a story of my son's bagpipe teacher, and his daughter. He, his wife, and now his daughter are all in the military. My son doesn't play anymore, but for several years he was in a pipe band. The teacher taught my son and several of his friends, starting as 8th graders, how to play the pipes, and compete at Celtic Fairs. The teacher was deployed for awhile and others had to step in and run the band. Now the teacher's daughter who was a preteen, and just learning to play the pipes, is now grown and in the air force. It was wonderful to read the article. Her father is retiring soon, and she will be the only military piper in the state.

BTW, I hope your pregnancy is going well.
