Home From The War


My stepson got back to the States yesterday afternoon after being deployed to Iraq for the last 15 months. I'm so relieved that he is safe, but I'm sure changed in many ways. Thanks for all the prayers and well wishes. His dad and sister are flying to Texas this am to spend the weekend with him. I'll get to see him when he and his family come to Florida for Christmas in a couple of weeks.

Cindy, your stepson and baby are gorgeous. I'll pray for him and your family. My stepson who just turned 30 yrs. old is in Okinawa,Air force and my stepdaughter is married to a Guamanian who's becoming an Army Doctor. They live in Washington State. Maybe everyone could say a prayer for her girl,Madison.She has leakemia.

Thank You for your prayers. We apreciate all the support ,we're so grateful. Believe it or not,Ronald McDonald' House has been a wonderful support.

Ric Larson said...

Joanna, many prayers still go out to Madison! I like to contribute to certain legitimate orginizations that help people in medical need. Do you really advocate for the Ronald McDonald House?

Joanna said...

Ric,Ronald McDonald House has kept Mary Jean and her two boys and husband together so that they don't have to travel far from eachother. They really are helping them out a lot.

Ronald McDonald House keeps them together so that they can build that bond. I Thank everyone who prayed for Madison because she is on the road to recovery.Her oldest brother turned out to be a bone marrow transplant for his little sister and success seems to be on the way.Thank-You All.
