Wow! As a mom of a preemie, I commend you ladies. I am going to look into when they'll be doing it in our area. ROFL Probably won't be until middle of July. I think it should be warm enough then.

My walk is only 5 miles and I have been tring to train to do it, but the weather won't cooperate. It is either raining or snowing. But I am going to do it. I hope that others have checked into this in their own cities it is for such a good cause.

I wish you both the best of luck and think you are awesome for what you are doing! I recently just walked the "relay for life" for cancer research, it basically meant getting a team together and walking non stop (taking turns) around and around a recreation park for 20 hours. I did this with pride, no sleep and no complaints...you get such an indescribable warm fuzzy feeling (and of course a few tears here and there). Once again..Well done! Good people with good hearts!

    I miss traveling with my husband. Has anyone found a specific site regarding cruising for widow/widowers or any sightseeing trips. Not interested in being with couples and kids,,,I realize a cruise ship will have a portion size of families and couples, but perhaps they also put together a part of the cruise ship for groups of widows/widowers????

A deep longing accompaniedby the deepest Love some days. The heavy fog mayreturn and the next day, it may recede.Once again, it's...
