Again thank you and there has got to be a road trip to the north west in the cards for us!! Thanks so much Gene!

Hope you process runs smooth and fast. eeyore.. thanks enjoy getting to know you and yours. Keep posting coz I think we have another clever one here.. I just want to add, like everyone has said, it is so worth it when it's all over and the time gone before seems like nothing. It is both a relief and a joy, to gain some closure and control. I am truly a happy and blessed man. Having had my wife by my side and I her's during this whole thing is worth more than I will most likely ever know. Looking forward to the birth of our daughter, feeling her kick and move about each evening as we sit on the couch. Seeing the strength and heartache of my Bea and sharing mine with her is our bond. We can not even begin to imagine the stress, frustration, anger, joy and deep feelings you each share with your love while being separated. Our hats are off to you and yours and the love and strength you show to all in your every breath, and every moment. Now is the time to sing your praise and sing it loudly. Gods speed and love to you all... and know you are special. We do. Mark and Bea and Baby Elizabeth Link to comment
