All involved will be in my prayers Gayla., Wish I were closer so I could help out. How a mother can refuse her children is beyond me. Well maybe this will help Mimi with her grieving having all the kids around. Thanks Jim for me for serving over there for us!! He and his unit will be in my prayers

What a hard situation for all involved, but especially the children! I will pray for safety for Jim and his unit in Iraq. I will also pray for Mimi and the children that they will be able to bring each other comfort and support. I will also pray for the soon to be ex-wife that she will realize that her actions are very hurtful and could cause long lasting emotional issues of rejection for her children.

Praying for all these people Gayla, oh my.... It is hard for me to understand how this woman could not find herself in her children but hope she will figure out this confusion soon. I am a Vietnam Era vet - I was in the Army just as the Viet Nam war was ending and I remember hearing of displaced and confused families and of course the challenges faced by the returning service people. This friend Mimi is an incredible person and think this situation will be healing in the long run for her...

awww Gayla, not a hero here but have known quite a few, including my ex-husband. I was proud, though, to serve in Maryland in a research facility where we were helping to find better ways to treat military personell with pneumonia. My favorite part of this though was when I was pregnant with my son and could not be in the lab at this time, so spent much of my turn in the medical library doing research for my boss - of course this was before computers so.....whew

Gayla...I will pary for them, this breaks my heart. As I have my passion for kids having good homes, I am glad that these kids don't need to live with their mother and her mess...she needs to find a good bible preaching church to help her! I will also pray for the Lord's hedge of protection for the service unit...please keep us posted. I wish there was more we could do! How could a mother do that?!?!!?!?!?
