Thank you most sincerely Mark for the words of wisdom. It's helpful for me to hear and then to share with him. He definitely falls in the saint category and has been a rock throguh all.

and yes, you are very right when you say how hard it is for the PCS spouse who has lost their life partner and best friend. he has been wading through that. me understanding it helps a lot and you've been a part of facillitating that.

i'm amazed at how you can help so many people via this group. i pray for you to keep having the ability to do it as it makes a difference.

take care and Merry Christmas to you and yours.
