Friends of all ages....

Gary, Lin's husband, has earned himself a friend for life ... I asked Austin tonight if he'd like to be Gary's pen-pal while Gary is over-seas. Austin was thrilled about the idea of writing to a Soldier. Austin decided to write Gary a poem ...

Austin was so happy to get an e-mail back from Gary, he made me quit typing questions to Lin so that he would have something to write to Gary later.

I just have to say that I feel like I have some wonderful friends thru PW and I'm glad I'm getting to know more people from the board. I truely feel blessed.

Gary, please stay safe, you'll be in our thoughts and prayers. We look forward to meeting you when you get back home! Lin, thank you for introducing Gary to Austin.
