As most of you all know I belong to a group (online) of military wife's, fiance's, girlfriends, which has been a wonderful support system throughout the years. I haven't met in person many of these wonderful women, but I still call them my friends. Most of us have known eachother for 4years or so. We talk about anything from venting, to what should I do about this or information about the military.
Unfortunatly, last night there was a post about 'I need your prayers'. One of our fellow members lost her fiance last week, while he was serving our country. If you could keep her (her family) and his family in your prayers that would be wonderful.
