Hi Andrea six months that's the lease he has taken out on his house!!!! He met our kids last night they hate having to "meet" him and I sat cryingfeeling so left out............but glad they are having a relationship with him.


Of course they came back and relayed the conversation......he was business like with our son... that hurt him no personal questions about him or his girlfriend.....
but our daughter seemed to get through - he still says he can only get through one day at a time ...... but shock the phone rang late last night and it was him to tell me this was his house number !!!!! and I could ring him at night if I wanted to !!!!! He also told me where he was on business today!!! his voice was different - practically recognisable but still a bit impatient ......is there someone shining down on me - I wont hold my breath

Ps he was livid that I had given him literature about PTSD and started talking to our daughter about an incident in Iraq mortar attacks !!!!! he has never spoken to her about this at all. what is that about. anyway girlies take care we have a lot to put up with...
