by now, most of you have figured out where the MITM is, but as mr. moose said, i can't put all my bidness out in the street, so we'll leave it at that. (yes, i am just that paranoid about stuff!) i can, however, say that the MITM is more than 600km away from the madness and he, along with his men and a few hundred other expats, are watching events unfold via satellite tv. i was able to speak to him again today (funny how my days seem to start at 01h00 or so now) and the first thing he did was make ME laugh! i guess he could "see" the tears of relief already starting to form just from hearing his voice so clearly again. no one has any idea how long they will be there or when travel will be safe, but everyone is okay.
a break from combat breathing for a moment or two.
thank you all for your support and keeping faith with us during this time. your words here and emails are a comfort to all of us, dear friends!
Very pleased that you have heard from him and that you are still laughing together.

Hurrah! xxxxooo
ReplyDeleteExcellent news, glad you've heard from him. Take care xoxoxo
ReplyDeleteHow sweet it will be to hold him close.
ReplyDeleteSo glad! Am thinking about you two all the time!! Alex sends a hellooooo and hug to you both!!!
ReplyDeleteThanks, tons, for the update. It's all very exciting, especially from a safe distance. Hope he touches U.S. soil soon.
ReplyDeleteThank goodness he's well away from it, I've been imagining all sorts of scenarios. Lord knows what it's been like for you. Keeping my eyes peeled for news of evacuations and the like, XXXXXXX
ReplyDeleteWhew! That's some fabulous news! Safe! And soon to be 'safe at home'... great news!
ReplyDeleteI'm so glad the MITM and his peeps are safe. Talking to you, and making you laugh, is one of the best gifts you could get right now. Being so far removed from that situation... and feeling so totally helpless... is so nerve wracking for you, that you needed to have the tension released just a little bit. That he knew that, and knew to do that for you, shows he's paying as close attention to you as to the situation over there. Big hugs, honey. xoxoxo
ReplyDeleteYay! Wonderful news!
ReplyDeleteGood news indeed, and I smiled at the way he made you laugh on the phone. Just knowing he is safe helps you breathe evenly.
ReplyDeleteI looked for your post first thing this morning and YEA ! I was greeted with such good news.
ReplyDeleteVery happy at your good news.
Big Hugs from Tucson,
cheers, parsnip

ReplyDeleteBeen thinking about you! So glad to hear your news

Great news darlin' - so glad you managed to speak to him again, but perhaps more importantly, that you laughed with him :-)
ReplyDeleteHe'll be home before y'know it hon.
Much love & hugs xoxoxoxox
Jayne told me about you & the fact that your man is in Libya. My brother just landed in Malta after a stressful 4-5 days. Good luck with the waiting. I'll be thinking of you.

ReplyDeletegreat to hear your good news. After this passes do you think it would OK to tell some of the story on your blog. I would be interested in getting some first person accounts of this unrest.
ReplyDeleteOh honey.
ReplyDeleteOne moment at a time.
I'll be holding you all close until MITM is home safe and sound.
thank the lordy for cell phones. Bless you S for being strong and bless your MITM. xoxo.
