Lou, Thank you so much for the card and newspaper articles! I have been thinking about our trip this past whole month and I have wanted to tell you what a great, positive and meaningful experience it was for me and my husband. I have never been on any retreat that left such an impression on me. I met great people, had great experiences and with any luck, made great new friends. I really needed the weekend your WWIA gave me. I finally understand why my husband takes the trips that, so many agencies provide. I can’t tell you how thankful I am, but I can tell you how you made me feel. I felt a sense of relief that I finally met and connected with other wives, (Heidi especially) who had been through similar experiences and understand exactly what it was I was going through. I finally didn’t feel so alone. It gave me a renewed sense of purpose this month in caring for my husband and my family, and instead of feeling so isolated for what we had been through, I embraced it. Thank you! The weekend events were great. I loved the food, the wine (especially the wine) and the great spa day. What a great trip. Keep doing what it is you are doing because it is working. The couple’s getaway is a great way for couples to relax and bond away from the everyday stresses of home life. Everyone I met was so grateful and encouraging. I loved every minute of it. This was the trip for me. This is the trip that made me remember why I did what I did all those years as an army wife. I still love my soldier and will always stand beside him. Thank you so very much,
