Trust in God is everything, though in my experience a good sense of humor helps a lot too. During the invasion of Panama we spent a week or two unable to leave our house and I found out that just the stuff in a normal family cupboard can tide a family of 3-1/2 (other daughter born a few months later) for quite a while. Like, I finally ate those smoked clams that had been on the shelf a couple years and they weren't that bad. Bad yes, but just not that bad. Trust in God and sense of humor really do go a long way.

Sure, while we don't take everything to heart we do have to take some things seriously --my heart goes out to you for your unspeakable loss. I lost my big sister that way. Years ago. Fortunately most things that happen in life are good, enough to be able to wind up the day with a few laughs. I can live with that.

Thank you for the kind words. I'm left wondering a lot but we have to go on. It was bi-polar, onset rather sudden and not that apparent. The girls and I will always have love in our hearts for him.

So you got put through your paces of deprivation, quite a young family. I've never eaten smoked clams but love those smoked oysters. I've never been through anything like that, WWII with my mother and dad away; she canned a whole lot of beef she was able to get, heck of a lot of work. But life wasn't affected too much then.

I still try to trust in God and pray. I'm irritable though. The stock market was helping keep my mind off things but I can't watch it all day, do keep up on the news.

Well, I saw an article to read. And Larry Kudlow last Sat nite was gung ho to hit Syria. I was surprised.
