How close, we do not know yet but for now that is all we have.<BR/><BR/>Keep smilin!4Dhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15497882301211681198noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30044120.post-35601704186980503632007-10-08T14:24:00.000-05:002007-10-08T14:24:00.000-05:00You know what Christie?

I'll recognize the yearly anniversary because, well, as you said, we're counting in years at this point so why not.<BR/><BR/>But thanks for the idea here - I think it might help me with this wait...<BR/><BR/>This is such a great post BTW - very well said, very well written, and very Headmeisterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00842048653417728566noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30044120.post-15730352399029268532007-10-08T06:57:00.000-05:002007-10-08T06:57:00.000-05:00Very well said Christy.

There have been a couple of months that I received an e-mail congratulating us for hitting month so and so, that is when I remembered it was our LID anniversary.<BR/><BR/>It's sad that we can stop counting months and start counting yearsPolar Bearhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08709374465990857106noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30044120.post-78275338672440423232007-10-08T01:55:00.000-05:002007-10-08T01:55:00.000-05:00I think you completly summed up what so many are t...I think you completly summed up what so many are thinking right now. There is nothing to count on in this process and unfortunaly, each month seems to bring great disappointment. To let go and move on is in no way giving up.
