Good afternoon all...I am thinking today, about D-Day, the sixth of June, and what it all means...

My husbands father landed at Omaha Beach, at Normandy, and altho he survived, he was never, ever the same, and never had what one could call a good or easy life...he was too haunted all of his life, haunted by what he saw and experienced...

And secondly my Michael was born on June 6th...we always called him the 'D-Day kid'...So today would have been his 32nd birthday, and it just makes me sad, that he is not here to celebrate with us...he died when he was just 15, so to us, he will always be 15...

So today, is just a day of ups and downs for me...hard to not cry because Michael is not here, hard to not be happy, when remembering his birth and the joy he brought into our lives...

Palo, please, give me a pool report and a Lulu report, when you are done with your swimming...

Christine...good news one your trees....if God listens to prayers for trees, of course, I will pray, and send happy tree thoughts...

Thanks for letting us know over on the Canteen thread. War is hell. And why do we still send our babies to die? If it, war, is just, why don't they let us old f#cks go and do it?

If anyone can answer this question, please do so. JL

I am sorry about Mike
My first dog, Spes, went to Heaven on 6/6/87
Altho I heard St Gabriel blew his trumpet on 6/6/96
Today is spiritual day
