Disappointments................

well now here i am waiting to play and everyone else leaves....

Sorry NA. I'm not in a playing mood today. I'm reading threads to keep my mind occupied, but playing is out for now.

I got a very disturbing email from my sister this morning. Her husband's parents are missing and are presumed to have been abducted. They were last seen leaving church Wed. night (they attend the same church my sister and her husband attend). Sat. morning a neighbor of her in-laws called my sister's house to mention that she had not seen them, and they had not picked up their newspaper on Thursday, Friday or Saturday. They did not show up at a friend's house as planned on Friday and didn't call to cancel, which is not normal for them to do.

Their car was found Wed. night and impounded. Turns out a cop had seen it speeding or something and followed it. The driver stopped and took off running, leaving the engine going. The cops of course didn't know anything about the owners being missing.

There has been no sign of foul play, no blood anywhere. A window was broken in their bedroom but nothing is amiss in the house.

I've known these people just about all my life, so I'm pretty torn up today. If you folks would, please keep them and my family in your prayer/good thoughts, whatever you feel comfortable with. It is not looking good. They have not been seen for 5 days now.

Thanks, everyone. I do appreciate the thoughts and prayers. Yes, the hard part is the not knowing. I want to just....I don't know what. You never think of something like this happening to your family. It is something that you hear about on the news. Now I know what the families of missing people go through. Like that pregnant woman in California. And the case we had here recently (her burned body was eventually found and her husband charged with her murder).

What hurts is that SOMEone out there knows where they are and what their condition is. And if they have been harmed, there would have been absolutely no reason to hurt them. They are in their 70's for God's sake! Harmless. Very sweet people. If someone had wanted their car, they would have let them have it rather than trying to fight for it. If it was money, same thing.

Thanks for letting me unload.

Darlin, UNLOAD! I know a little of what you are going through. Several yeas ago, I received a phone call a work, in the middle of a meeting, that my son was missing from his sitter's. Amazing how much praying one can do while speeding down the road. We're here for a hon, even if you just want to scream and unload.

You can't tell us a partial story like that, Bash, without giving us the outcome! What happened to your son?

And thanks...I may take you up on that offer to unload very "loudly" here.

By the way, I didn't know you had kids.

Turns out he was in the bathroom and too embarrassed to tell anyone he wet his pants (was just starting to potty train himself). Never had a greater weight been lifted from these shoulders.

Oh dear God....what a shock you had! And I know what you mean about the weight being lifted.

How many kids do you have?

hugs and kisses for both of you...........blue and bash

i am fine, really..........just dealing with a shock.

i do hope things work out blue.......i so hope.
 
ya'll, i have a rather calm life right now so if you need to unload i am here for ya...

bashful, my younger brother once crawled under the house and fell asleep, we searched for hours and were all scared outta our minds looking for him. finally one of the other brothers noticed the dog crawling in and out from under the house and decided to check it out. seems that he fell asleep under the steps and the dog was checking on him every so often...

a big (((((((((Blue, mayi, Bashful))))))))))))))

Seems like dealing with shocks is what we are doing these days. I'm sorry to hear that you are having difficulties again...or still, mayi.

NA...thanks...I'm sure I'll unload on you soon.

Bash....hope you're doing well. Enjoyed the chat last night.

for everyone: it isn't looking good for my sister's in-laws. I found out this morning that their next door neighbor is an ex-con who is suspected of drug-dealing and someone in the neighborhood was accosted by someone with a gun not long ago, but managed to get away. I'm so depressed. It is really hard to try to remain hopeful. But try I must.

Gotta go take kids to school; one missed the bus. Lots of traffic in town today because of the increased security on the bases in town. There are times when I wonder if the military life is worth the many benefits...and this is one of those times. *sigh* I'll have to sit in long lines to get onto base for 3 different bases today just to get my things done.

Ok...I've stalled enough now. Talk to you all later.
 
Well, I've got a disappointment to add to the list. I was just told this morning by my 17 year old daughter (turned 17 less than one month ago) that she had sex with her former boyfriend in August and she thinks she might be pregnant. I think her symptoms are from nerves, but I'll have to have her examined now, for that, plus any STDs and all that crap.

I'm numb. I am totally exhausted and numb. I want to scream. I want to crawl into a hole and hibernate. I'm tired of problems.

My other daughter, twin to the above mentioned, woke up this morning and found that 2 of her earrings (one of which is a cartilage piercing) had gone underneath the skin and are extremely painful. I've got to pick her up from school in about 1.5 hours for her appt. to have them removed.

And this morning I found some new information from my sister that makes it even more unlikely that her in-laws will be found safe. Turns out, the next door neighbor of the in-laws is an ex-con and is suspected of being a drug dealer. Also, another of their neighbors was assaulted in his own yard by someone with a gun, but he managed to escape. So now Sis thinks that they must have interrupted someone (possibly the ex-con's customer if he is a dealer) trying to break into their house.

Where is the nearest hole? If I didn't have to leave to pick my daughter up soon, I'd go wrap myself up in my "mink" blanket and go to sleep.

Thanks for "listening".
 
Everyone....this is the letter I am sending to all my friends who have been praying for/thinking of my family during this difficult time. I can not write to everyone individually, so please accept this as our heartfelt thanks.....



My family and I want to thank all of you who have so diligently prayed for the safe return of my sister's in-laws. Unfortunately God does not always answer our prayers in the manner which we would prefer.

They are now with God. They no longer have to face the strife of this world. They obeyed the Gospel of our Lord 16 years ago and have been faithful to Him ever since, so we rest easy in the knowledge of their eternal life with their Lord.

The only thing I know at this point is that they were found near the ship channel in Corpus Christi, and were shot.

We will never know, in this earthly life, why things happen the way they do. They were kind, loving people. They would have given their car, money, jewelry, anything. Shooting them served no purpose that we can understand. Maybe One Day we will.

Thanks again for your prayers. My sister asked me to thank everyone who has been keeping them in their prayers and thoughts.

God Bless, and Love to each of you,
Lisa
