Update

Since I may have one or two blog readers who are not related to me I wanted to update you on my project for this deployment:

Saying goodbye

It doesn't get easier - you're just more prepared for how hard it's going to be.

In memory

Creating sanctuary

Read a great post here about your marriage being a sanctuary, "The trip back to the garden of delight is always a trip back to sanctuary. We find our way back to a safe place where we can be vulnerable and unafraid, back to the place where we can be naked and not ashamed."

"No man needs a castle when he has a sanctuary."

What a great goal to strive for, to make our homes and our marriages a place of sanctuary.

Ichiban!
