***whew*****

....after hearing about the recent violence in A-Stan, and that we've lost more Heroes over there, it was a tremendous relief when I got a Facebook message/email from one of our adopted Heroes/friends.

*Whew!*

I hadn't realized how much breath I'd been holding till just now.

*breathing again*

But, relief is tempered by much sadness for those that fell.... God hold & keep those families.... *cries*
