It may be none of my business, but what is Kai's Tutu sending you? Do you need or want something? Anything? Please let me know - I'll be glad to send you anything you desire. I'm sure others on this board would do the same. How about your friends and co-workers, even the guys? The least we can do is provide you with a little comfort after what you are doing for us! So come on, tell us. What - cookies, personal items, hand lotion, sox, bath soap, candy and snacks - don't be shy! Sewing stuff? We're waiting to hear.
By the way, good luck tomorrow getting the women together - maybe the third time will be the charm! I surely hope it's not their men refusing to allow them to come. Are you meeting them on the Army Post? Maybe that's the problem. But surely you have advisors who would tell you about situations like that. I'm going to bed now and will say a prayer. All good things in time.
