Was the last day I ‘’talked’’(Messenger) to Gunnar. We were online, together, for almost an hour. He was giving me a really bad time, about buying Doug a PINK leather motorcycle jacket, for Doug’s birthday. We talked about other things, too. Family friends, that have decided to divorce…….we talked about Jo and Cheeseburger, and baby Luke. We talked about his grandparents…..And we talked about how close he was to being done, with deployment, and how much beer we could/would drink, when he got home for leave.
We talked about muzzleloader rifles, and the camero, and his sister's wedding. And he told me to find a computer class, sign up, and write the check, on his account, because he couldn’t keep teaching me, from Iraq. We told each other I love you, and he’d talk to me tomorrow. And I filed the only messenger conversation I’d ever filed. (didn’t know how, but decided to click on file………and I remember sitting in front of the computer, laughing about a pink motorcycle jacket, and suddenly crying……

They say,writing is supposed to be a good way, to work your way thru the greiving process..Somehow,
I seem to have problems,keeping thiscommitment...
so..as a grieving mom, I'm hoping that this blog will help keep Gunnar's friends in-touch with me,& give them a place to ''check-in''.
Even though so many months have passed, i know it's still hard for you guys to come to the house..it's still hard, for me to be here, sometimes.....
But, I want every one of you to know, how much I appreciate your emails, phone calls, and visits.
Thank you, for the memories, the laughter, and the healing power of our tears.....I can't imagine my life, without every one of you, in it(my life)......you know who you are..................BECAUSE I AM THE MOM!
Thank you, & I love you..........now &.always,......

I know there aren't any words to say except I'm thinking of you. I have a stepson in Irag now and Scout leaves in March. I can only imagine what it would be like to loose a child of mine and that is scary enough. God bless you and your family.

Make sure to have one for me when you're out with the boys tonight, Debey. Love you!
Its strange the things we do sometimes without thinking about it only to look back later and be so thankful we did it.
Gunnar would be very impressed with your website if he wanted you to take computer classes! : ) I think its great to be doing this for him.
