Death notice…

i dont know what i would do if i had a loved one in the service. to know that b/c of this stupid “war” at any given moment someone may knock on my door and announce that “he or she died”! talk about drama queen!!! an the award goes to…Diana Hilaire!
garrett mentioned an article in a magazine that goes into detail on how this all transpires. from the alpha to the omega. i heard the article was extremely deep, powerful and moving. i was told to make sure i have tissue available because its that real!
im not sure if you ever saw the movie ” a league of their own” with rosie o’donald, madonna and tom hanks, but that is one of the “wickedest” movies for women who love softball…like myself. there was a part when they were all in the locker room getting ready and the mail guy comes to deliever a death notice to one of the ladies. imagine that!!! i mean to see their faces as jimmy “tom hanks” walks by each female praying that it isn’t/wasn’t their husband. once he gets to the end of the locker room it was down to the last 2 players and it was over. imagine before your game, you get a notice stating your husband is dead…drama queen to the 10th power. there would have been some swinging, some slicing and dicing…lol but for real…its real. no one likes to hear someone who we love died.
I have a co-worker of mine who has a 25 yr old daughter in the army who married a fellow from the army as well. they got married last septemeber, closed on their home in october and a week later had to be sent to Iraq! Both of them!! the worst part about it is that they won’t be able to see eachother because they will be on 2 completely different sides! I mean that is not deep as losing someone but it all falls into the same category. to read that over 4000 soilders have died to this useless war! Lord knows i can’t wait till Bush Gardens is out of office!!…lol
nevertheless, for all the troops who are “fighting”…like tupac said…KEEP YOUR HEAD UP. for all the families…stay strong and don’t forget to pray. for whatever reason, we always want to call on God when the tough gets going, but remeber prayer is the strongest weapon! ok..im going to get off my soap box now!
