I am a SAILOR's WIFE. I know the fear each of those wives had when the boy's first went out to sea...my heart aches for you ladies, for the families of the lost Sailors. I admire each and everyone of you because my life would be over if something like that happened to my Sailor. Not a day goes by that your men arent remembered. You and your families are in my prayers....I cant begin to explain my sorrow for you, although we have never met, there is a bond amongst all Navy Wives, a sisterhood so to speak, when you hurt the others will feel your pain, as I do right now. Every time I hear about it, I get sick to my stomach and a tear comes to my eye. Please know that you are not alone in this. There are people there to help you, and hit your knees. God really does work miracles. Again I'm sorry for the loss of your Sailors.

Dear Lord, A NAVY WIFE I choose to be;
My husband's job-to keep us free.
He must travel to foreign land;
While he is gone, hold thou my hands.
When worries seem to much to bear,
Embrace me with they loving care.
If days are boring, The nights too long,
Keep me, Oh Father, from doing wrong.
When I am week and torn by fear,
Please, Oh Father, dry my endless tears.
You know indeed that I am frail,
Help me to send him only cheerful mail.
And as I, my lonely vigil stand,
My prayer is this: Hold thou my hand.
**AMEN**
