Stella, I also remember your loss and have thought about you often.
As for us, we spent 3 years in Alaska, and now we're back down in Oklahoma. My daughter is now 19 and in the process of joining the Coast Guard. I still run my message board. I recently started my own medical transcription business, and it's been hard, but I'm plugging along. My dh just reenlisted in the Army for the next 8 years.
I think that's it in a nutshell.
