Courage has been in my thoughts for the last couple of months since I finished the John Adams biography. And lo and behold when I clicked on the Profiles in Courage link, I was not surprised that one of them was to John Adams.
A nice tribute to military wives....I have known many of them through the years and have always have been in awe of all that they endure when their husbands are serving. And they are so young too, usually in their 20's.
Living in a military community, I read lots of local stories about military wives and families. One last week tugged my heartstring. A young military wife is moving back to the Midwest with her young children while her husband is deployed. Problem is, they have a dog, her parents have cats. So she gave the dog to the local Animal Shelter to see if he could be adopted out with the proviso that if he was not adopted in 7 days, she would reclaim him and deal with the problem another way. Well, somehow the paperwork got mixed up and the doggie had been euthanized by mistake. So, she has that to deal with in addition to everything else.
In light of other things going on in the world, it really isn't that big a deal, I guess, but I like my posts to be perfect. So, it has been corrected.
Billie discovered that the problem was my paw print at the bottom. It has been removed and Jim has reposted the thread. Thank you, Jim. Next time I will have Billie preview my post, since I can't depend on what I am seeing on my monitor.
Thanks, Billie, for telling me.....I know you didn't want to. You know what a perfectionist I am, sort of like you. LOL! :-)
Hope you're doing ok - you don't seem your usual chipper self.
I was away from the board when this was posted, and am now trying to catch up on the thread.
LOL! Yes, ma'am. No more dots. :-)
