And the Superhero giveaway goes to:

That is a BEAUTIFUL necklace!


My superpower....wow, this is very hard....


I think my superpowers comes alive when my husband is deployed or
surged, I can be the mom & dad, the fixer of all things, not let my
son see or feal my fear, let him know that he is loved, just be there.
And that I help my DH to know that he has nothing to worry about us
here at home or the house, he just needs to do his job the best he can
& stay safe, while I do mine.


He has told me that he doesn't worry, cause he knows that I can do
anything that comes my way & needs to be taken care of, good or
bad, superpowers or not.


Thank you for this opportunity to write it down.

    Ali,
    You chose the perfect person to receive your SuperHero giveaway today... I have two sons in the military and both are deployed overseas. Our military wives do what your winner said, they hold down the fort-- good or bad-- while their husbands are away to keep the men from worrying. Carolyn IS a superhero! Stay strong, C!
