So...I told Tab that I'd let her know if I talked to Jenn and I did talk to Jenn, and then I left and forgot until now. So I guess I'll post it and hope that she reads this. I talked to Jenn. She sounded okay, but sad. I knew that the service in Arlington would be hard on her. On all of them. She said that she is waiting for a sign from him, a sign telling her that he's happy. But she also said it's causing her to rethink a lot of things, religous stuff, like whether there is a heaven. I think that the one thing you can always garauntee after the death of a loved one are questions about God and whatever comes next. I have my own thoughts on the issue, and I'll probably share them with her, but I think it's something that you have to come to on your own. So I didn't say anything on the phone. She also said that she had agreed to host a baby shower for a friend of hers, she needs to start planning it soon if that's what she's going to do, but I think she is rethinking whether she wants to. I'm sure that given the circumstances everyone would understand if she didn't, and someone would fill in, and I thought about saying that. But I think it might be good for her to do it, it will give her something to focus on, she can start celebrating life again instead of mourning loss. But...maybe it is too soon for that. I just don't know.
I tried to distract her with some silly gossip. Basically everyone I know here except Jenn has now broken up with their boyfriends. I'm happy being single, but they aren't so much...so it should be interesting. Oh, and Lori bought a house. I don't know how it went, I think we ended up back around to stuff going on there. And then some news people showed up and I guess they weren't expecting it so she wanted to go see what was going on. She said she'd call back, but she didn't. I didn't think she would really though. And after that I went to see Lori's new house.
She said that She and Charlie are flying out Saturday. The plane leaves about noon. Marissa and Noella are living here, they bought property next to the Flanagan's to build a house eventually. But Rodney leaves again on Monday. All along I've had a hard time imagining what they are really going through, but I think in this case Marissa has a pretty hard job. On Monday she has to let her husband be shipped back to the same place that, just two weeks ago, took the life of her brother.
Right now that's about all I can remember.
I hope she finds her sign soon. I hope they all do. And I think that Dennis will find a way to send one to them.

Well, I wasnt home all day yesterday like planned, so, I couldnt call her. I am glad you talked to her. I agree that she should do the baby shower, it can take her mind off of things. I hope Dennis sends her a sign soon also. I also hope she doesnt second guess God too much, I know we all have our beliefs, but, God will help her through this if she just believes in him. I know she is going through tough times with this, but it will pass. It will get easier as time goes by. I know to her it doesnt seem as though it will, but I really think it will. I want him to send her a sign, so, she knows he is happy and she gets more faith back, and can somewhat go on with her life. Not saying she needs to forget this all, because she never will, but, she needs to be able to smile again, and celebrate the life she has here. I hope this isnt coming across mean. I am just hoping she sees this was the best thing for him, or God wouldnt have let it happen. She is definetly in my prayers.
