First up these are the flowers Chuckie Duck sent me. Nice, huh? And they are opening beautifully. We had a lovely dinner too.
Today I will be sitting in the hospital for many hours waiting for my dear Sarge to get the biopsy done. That dear man has been through so much in the last year it is hard to imagine. Luckily he has had an amazing medical team that truly cares about him as well as D#1 and old Chuckie Duck have been there as well.
Thinking back on the years we have had together has been keeping me sane too. We have traveled the world over and laughed all along the way. We have been together for so long I absolutely cannot remember what it is like to not be with him.
Well, I do remember the deployments. I guess you never forget those. I still have some letters he wrote me from Viet Nam. I really should scan a few of them and share them with you. He has a great sense of humor, no matter the time or place. I have never showed them to another living soul. Am I ready to share them now? I have to think a bit more before I decide. I only know I wish I had kept them all. There were lots too.
Today's deployed families don't have the letters I had, what they have is so much better but I wonder if, years from now, they will still have those emails and things. Somehow the letters tied with a ribbon tucked in the back of a drawer are so comforting. Would I trade those now for the ability to have spoken to him? I don't know. At the time, yes, now, ??
Sarge told me they had to write a letter home in case they didn't come home, to be delivered by someone else. I don't know if they do that now or not but I never saw his letter to me. I am glad too! I wouldn't have wanted to read that even if he was alive and well sitting next to me at the time. I know that for sure.
Well I know we are going to have some more rough times ahead but I also have every confidence that Sarge will come out of this fine. His attitude is wonderful. He is an amazing man. A true patriot and wonderful person.
And to end this on a very happy note!!! Another subject!!! The flying Walendas are moving away next Friday. Horray!! They have been doing acrobatics above me for so long now I can almost tell you their whole schedule. The flat cats were dancing around when they heard the news.
Hope your Monday is tits. You know where to find me!
25 notes:
Buongiorno!!!
Husband's Day? I think Sarge is still romantic as in his youth!
Your post is an ode to the romantic age we lived...Thank!
What a romantic future will have the modern youngs!
(Fun of today? Nice = Nizza, town in France, i know it's right, but in your sentence that was not meant!!! Ha...ha...ha..)
I stay with you by waiting for Sarge, at the hospital!
Big hugs!!!!
i love you.
Hello Bee. Im so sorry for what you and Sarge are going through! He sounds like a wonderful man. I dont wanna go all Mae West on ya, but a good man is hard to find. His Vietnam letters must be very precious to you. Im glad you kept them. Thanks for your post about my Mom, yes she is amazing. xxxooo
Bless your heart...You have faith and love going for you. I just wish so badly that there was something I could do or say to make the sun shine a little brighter for both of you. Guess I'll keep praying!
Love to you, my friend.
~~~Blessings~~~
Everything is crossed for Sarge today, Bee!
I know where to find you ... and I'll be checking in to see how the day went.
I love you both ... and I'm praying for the BEST!
Love--R
this is a lovely post. as the mom of a deployed airman, you made me stop to think...technology is wonderful, in some respects. My son calls me on Wednesday (and Mother's Day) from Afghanistan and yes I do receive e-mails and can see photos posted on Facebook. Oh, but to have a hand written letter would be sweet. I will never ask my son (or my younger son who will deploy this summer) since I know there off-time is limited. Such different generations!
My prayers continue for Sarge. my prayers are lifted for you as well, as you support this wonderful man of yours!
~AM
I will be praying
Best wishes for Sarge today. We're keeping him in our purrs.
Sarge's stoicism will see him through I'm sure but I'm sending Reiki anyway because a bit extra help never goes amiss.
It's wonderful that you have been together so long and I'm sure you have many more years to look forward to. Keep the love alive - it's heartwarming. x
Honey, that is the sweetest post!! I love you two
I hate it that y'all have to go through this ordeal, but I know how strong you and Sarge both are. Many folks are holding good thoughts, so you'll get this new hurdle. Holding you both close in my heart.
Big hugs, honey...
Sending you lots of good thoughts today from Montana. Hope all goes well for Sarge today.
Are the Walendas gone for good, or just for the summer?
I almost forgot about the flying walendas... wonder what type of neighbors will take their place??? I shall stay posted for your updates. Maybe its FIFI and FOOFOO! hahaha.
Sending good thoughts for Sarge and yourself today. Hope it all goes well.
I would love to read those letters, but can completely understand your trepidation.
Good positive morning Bee. My prayers will be with Charlie this morning when goes for his biopsy. Yes, you both have had a year of pain and suffering and your positiveness is just amazing, probably the most I've ever seen in my life. You help many others in their difficulties while having to deal with your own.
I think everyone would love to hear about Charlie's letters when he in Vietnam but to tell the truth, keep them private. That was a dangerous time and even though I would love to hear his words I still believe they should be private. That's just me I guess.
We had Emily and Cole over last night to sleep over. These two little tykes are having a difficult time and you know what I mean Bee. Right now MaryLou is taking them to the park. Well I have to go outside and cut the grass. We're suppose to have 4 continues days of rain and if I don't cut the grass it will look like a monsoon hit. See you my friend.

You and I both got good husbands honey. It's a wonderful thing. I can so relate.
Prayers coming your way for you and Sarge. You both have been through so very much. We are all here for you too.
The flowers are lovely and I'm sure you had cake right? You must of had cake.
Have a terrific day honey. Big hug to you both. :)
Ramblings of an old women? I think not. Loved the post.
Sending love and prayers to you and Sarge.
I'll be thinking of you both today and praying you through this next challenge.
Big hugs xo
Thinking of you both today.
My thoughts and prayers are with you both! I can tell how close you two are by the way you write about him with so much love :)
Awww that is really super nice, really!
Dear Missie bee, I have been purring for Sargie all day. and, when ever the results come back, we are ready to go to battle with whatever comes our way.
We will not bonk. We will punch and kick that bad stuff out!
Your flowers are very pretty. Mom got some cutie roses from the big girl bean too.
Youare a very red and so pretty, I can even smell them!

Bee & Charlie, our prayers are with you. I want you both to know I have never ever met two stronger people in my life, you are truly an inspiration to all of us. We love you both, and with all your positive thinking you will both pull thru this hurdle, and go on as happy as ever in your cruising world. God Bless! Linda & Mike
