This is a good one Jenny!! It is nice to know I’m not the only one prone to dismal assumptions regarding the potentially tragic whereabouts of my tardy family members. It is always a joy to read your work.

Jenny,

We’ve never met – but I found your blog and love it – I am interested in your conversion story, if you have one – have you always been an Orthodox Christian? You seem to have a peace and purpose. I’d appreciate anything you are willing to share.

Thanks for this wonderful article. It truly inspires me to not take my relationship with Jennifer for granted, nor be too flexible (as I usually am) when telling her the time of my arrival!

Thanks for your comment!

Your description of your daughters remind me of my 14 mo. boys! Duncan especially already fights to swim on his own!

I also understand your feelings about waiting for your husband to come home. I had a similar experience a few months ago, and was having visions of him dead along the road--wrecked. I was considering getting my boys up and start driving around looking for him, since I couldn't get him on the phone.

Thankfully, he'd just unexpectedly had a long conversation at a worship practice at church and his cell phone had happened to die.

Oh, Jenny! I have been “widowed in my imagination” so many times in our 40+ years of marriage. You write it all so well. I loved the part about the lei also!

I have these widow-to-be incidents all the time too (most recently when Jeff was out on his bike and a hail storm came out of nowhere). You tell the story so well, Jenny. I love it.

Great post, Jenny. When Bruce is late I wonder if he has enough life insurance or if I must get a job immediately and if I can convince his Mom to move closer to my family if I need to move.

I liked how you were considering the updating of your facebook site in the possible case of f.j.’s untimely death. oy!

I can relate to this so much! Fr. R has been driving perilous winter roads to the mission for the last 3 years monthly. Now that we have moved he’ll be driving another perilous road for Vespers weekly. Sigh.

On another note, we are excited about your mission and you are in our prayers!
