Welcome Home Andy!

Andy is schedule to arrive at about 1:30pm on Tuesday, January 12th at Volk's Field in Wisconsin.  After 3-5 days at Ft. McCoy he will be home for good.  We are all so excited to have him back home safe and sound.

This was at Andy's going away party on February 7, 2009.
Alyxis will be a lot happier today!


Life is Good!

A Mother’s Prayer
Written circa 1944-45

Oh Lord, I pray, be with the boys,
They are so far from home,
Lost in a world of hate and noise,
Be with them where they roam.

When they were small and very dear,
Like Angels without the wing,
They would sit on my lap and huddle near,
While their slumber song I would sing.

Oh Lord, will you now be taking my place,
Be near them and take their hand,
And give to the boys your love and grace,
In that strange and far off land.

Be near with your help to one and all,
To the boys that are lonely and hurt,
Oh, be you the light when shadows fall,
Dear Lord, give us peace on earth.
