Today is Lisa and my 25th<\/sup> Wedding anniversary. [And no, this isn\u2019t a not-so-subtle troll for compliments!]<\/p>\n

But I\u2019m trying to take some of the day off and spend it with her. [She\u2019s napping, right this second, so you\u2019re not \u201crobbing\u201d her, and I\u2019m not guilty either. (At least not guilty for that, anyway.)]<\/span><\/p>\n

But I think of the many years my parents had together up to this point, and the uncertainty about the future, and I genuinely feel for my mom.<\/span><\/p>\n

It\u2019s been hard for her to contemplate a life alone if Dad never comes home and I really understand that desire to have someone to share your life with.<\/span><\/p>\n

So, I guess I\u2019ll just say that my heart goes out to my mom, and I hope that she continues to gain strength and hope \u2013 that I understand, at least a little, how hard it must be. And I know that many of the rest of you also want her to know how much you care.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u2026and I must say, [without this mention excluding any other group] that the people at her \u201cSunday\u201d church where she plays [Englewood Christian Church] have been incredible! Yes, incredible!<\/span><\/p>\n

Wow, are you folks awesome or what!?<\/span><\/p>\n

She\u2019s mentioned how wonderfully caring, loving and enveloping you have been, especially the last few weeks.<\/span><\/p>\n

Whatever you\u2019re doing, keep doing it! It\u2019s been wonderful to see. Thanks!<\/span><\/p>\n

I don\u2019t have a story thought out for this post \u2013 and doing one will take a lot longer than the nap is scheduled to last \u2013 so you\u2019ll simply have to do without.

—
\n<\/span>I do have one other piece of business:<\/p>\n

I know some check the site regularly for updates, but others of you want to know when we know anything more, but don\u2019t get a chance to check as regularly.<\/p>\n

What I\u2019d like to ask you to do is to submit your email address to the list-serv.<\/span><\/p>\n

The list-serv works like this\u2026
\nWhen I have an update, or a new post, or some other piece of news we\u2019d like you to hear, I\u2019ll post a notice on the list-serv. If you have subscribed, and have given us your email \u2013 you\u2019ll get that notice delivered to your email box.<\/span><\/p>\n

Then I can include the update, either in the email itself, or send a link you can follow to the blog.<\/span><\/p>\n

But this allows us to \u201cpush\u201d an update to you, rather than having to check the site all the time \u2026 and if you forget, you miss something.<\/span><\/p>\n

So, please, sign up by following this link and giving us your email address. We<\/span>\u00a0won\u2019t share your address with anyone else and you can unsubscribe at any time.<\/p>\n

Subscribe here:\u00a0 http:\/\/www.sloop.net\/mailman\/listinfo\/jrs-search_sloop.net<\/a><\/p>\n

Once you subscribe on the web-page, you’ll get an email asking for confirmation. That’s “normal.” Simply click the link in the email you get, to confirm your subscription, and you’ll be all set. [If you don’t confirm, however, you won’t be subscribed and won’t get the updates via email. It’s a two-step process.]<\/p>\n

Thanks!
