Sharm El Sheikh..

With all thats going on in Egypt the girls and I have been looking at some holiday pictures of us at Sharm El Sheikh, a place of tantalized by the white sandy beaches and endless desert landscape, which contrast with the crystal clear blue water of the Sinai peninsula. Sharm El Sheikh has been heralded as "The City of Peace" and now to read about and watch on TV the upset and uprising it is so hard...to comprehend.

I remember taking these photos and thinking...what lovely pink buildings! I just seem to be attracted to anything pink...

Anyway, my Dear other half re-enlisted today for another 6 years to add to the 10 he already has and as I could not be with him I recived a very nice but simple flower arrangement  from Interflora...was so totally unexpected and in the card read ..

Behind every soldier there is a girl.
.. 

She is always with him- heart and soul.
She goes through everything he has gone through.
She feels his pain, his sorrow, his joy, his longing, and his devotion.
For every minute they are apart her heart aches but she smiles.
She is a model for other girls who watch and wonder 'How does she do it?'
She is the picture of everlasting love and fidelity to her Soldier, his cause and their country.
She is his rock, his support, his best friend, and his lover.
Her job is the hardest and most painful thing she knows.
It may also be the most rewarding
Their relationship will weather storms, cross miles and reach indescribable heights.
Not only because of who they are, but also because of the love they share.
A love that is patient, honest, true and kind.
A love that transcends the distance.
A love that is deeper than any ocean.
A love that is more abundant than all the stars in the sky and a love
that is perfect in all its flaws.
Behind every strong soldier- there is a girl.. and she will always love
him!!

aaawww, how thoughtful of him ...and even though I know he has got it off of somewhere, the simple thought of him adding it to the message card was so so sweet...Darling I am so sorry we could not be with you but we all love and miss you so much..see you soon!!

Was also just thinking...how did families interact and get in touch with each other 50/60 years ago, how far we have come...is just but amazing and we are thankful, very thankful for modern technology...I managed to recieve flowers from a man who is so very far away from home where little or no modern life is within walking distance..Thank you Babe!!!
