Guys, thanks so much for the prayers. They are needed and appreciated more than you know.


Wolfe

LW, my deepest respect and gratitude to you and all the others who keep me free. My daughter's a medic, and I pray for you, her and all our military daily. Merry Christmas!

[Lady Glock]

Merry Christmas Wolfe!

[Glock26girl]

Merry Christmas, Wolfe! We all love you and are praying for major improvement in the New Year. Merry Christmas to all of our Glock Talk friends! Bob, I am in agreement with your prayer for our Wolfe.

Please pray for my husband's Mom. She is suffering from kidney failure and now an enlarged heart. She is a very strong person, though and has lots of faith. They just lost his Dad 4 months ago.

I have my kids and grand kids here now, so I am quite happy!!!!!!!!!!

Thank you for that, and thank your daughter for me. I guess you know what one of her brethren did for me.

I hope you bought at least 3 GT sweepstakes tickets and gave me the last number. Mine ended in 33 and 31 was one of the winners. Hope it was you.

Same to you, and thank you. You know I love you all, especially those friends here who haven't given up on me in spite of wanting to give up myself. Prayers going up got your MIL, too.

Today was a regular work day for me during the day, and then we had a nice little shindig at the DFAC tonight. They fed us pretty good. Something happened this afternoon that I want to mention. There's a group of Afghani's on the base that are here for military training. One of my customer's office is just past their compound, so I have to walk past there a few times a week. I usually manage to go when there's no one hanging around, but sometimes they'll be sitting there waiting. When they're there they just like to leer and stare at me or any other female they see. I usually just paste a smile on my face and say hello, and keep going.

Today I rounded the corner and there's a large group sitting there, but it was different. This time they had guns. Not AK's luckily, or I wouldn't have been able to walk by them. They had M-4's and M-16's and were just sitting there holding them. I was freaked out, but manage to keep going past them and I don't think they could tell that I was shaking and my knees were jello. Guess a winter coat and sunglasses are good for something. I managed to get around a corner and out of sight before I had my panic attack and started crying. It took a few minutes to compose myself so I could return my customer's laptop that I was carrying to them. I'm still pretty shaky thinking about it.





It's early morning in Afghanistan, so......

MERRY CHRISTMAS, GT!

[Magnus2131]

I'm so happy to be celebrating another Christmas with our Lone_Wolfe still around.

I am sorry, Dearest.

It was ladies first, I had the following number.

Sweetheart, you are tougher than you give yourself credit for. The very gentlest of hugs Sweetheart.

Oops... Let me be the first to wish you a "Merry day after Christmas!" I forgot about the date difference... D'oh! ;D

Wolfe it sounds like you faced your greatest fear and did not get shot again. Maybe next time it happens you will be a little less afraid. This might be good for you even though right now you may disagree.

Merry Christmas to you and everyone!

Actually I think you might be right, I do feel a little like I faced that fear. That doesn't mean I conquered it, because I didn't, but I'm still here after seeing an Afghani with a gun in his hand. This after noon I had an Ipod on shuffle and Bob Seger started singing 'Little Victories', that's when I started to feel that way.

And NO, don't try to get one to come around me holding an AK-47! There's no way in hell I could handle that.



Hope everyone is having a great Christmas evening!

Darn! You guessed it. That was gonna be my next assignment for you.

Hope everyone is having a great Christmas evening!

You too.

I'm proud of you for staying on course with your encounter.

[DustyJacket]

Good for you.

Merry Christmas, and a much happier New Year.

You really want me to panic and make a hole in some T-Walls trying to escape, don't you?

I'm proud of you for staying on course with your encounter.

I really didn't have much choice. By the time I could see the Afghani's with the guns I'd committed to going down that street, and there's no place to turn off or else I'd have done just that.

Hope your Christmas was a good one and the New Year is too. And I thank you, I'm really hoping for some progress next year.

I went into my therapy room last night when my chest was giving me fits, and the treadmill had beed put in there. It was just inside the door and blocking it, but this afternoon when I went for my session my therapist had it in a corner and was 'testing' it out. I sat down with my heating pad on and watched him run on it for several minutes. He told me I have to use the shut-off strap on it no matter what I'm doing on it, because he had to back it up closer to the wall than it should be. That's the only way to fit it in there. That's fine, better than having it facing the wall.

Thank you and same to you. Any trip to someplace like Maine will be in SUMMER. And that's as far north as I go!

[BobInTX]

Aww, I wouldn't do that to you. But you might visualize that scenario in your head in case it does happen so you might not freak out as much.

I really wish you were back home safe in your own bed, sawing logs.

Did u get my pic?

[chrisw]

Lone_wolfe-

I don't know you and you don't know me. I have read a bit and learned of your ailments. No words I can express can mend your wounds both mental and physical so I won't even bother here. Many have beat me to the punch. Come home safe. If I ever have the pleasure of running in to you at a bar/resturaunt your drinks are on me. Instead of looking at the past which we can not change, smile at the future as we all welcome the challenge. Every day I go to work I am thankful for the opportunity to have the challenge of the day that I have with so many souls depending on me. Sometimes just knowing that others depend on me keeps me motivated to live my life the best I can. Not sure if that makes any sense or not. Come home to wherever home is for you. Best wishes.

Unfortunately I'm visualizing that whether I want to or not. Also unfortunately, in my mind's eye they like to point them at me too and in my dreams of course then they start shooting. I've been having panic attacks and making my chest hurt worse from tensing up the last few days. Last night got pretty bad, so I had to go in for Dilaudid injections. Plus some muscle relaxers to stop the breathing attacks. Tonight isn't fun, but not as bad as last night.

I'd settle for sawing logs in ANY bed.

Yep, I for the pic. She's a little cutie!

The guy holding her isn't too shabby looking, either.

Yes, that makes sense. It's not too far from the 'logic' that my employer used to get me to come back over here.

I thank you for the kind words and I'd love to meet you someday, too.

I'm so sorry. That really rattled you, didn't it?
