Dear John….
Although this is my journey through embroidery blog, yet I think I need to 
dedicate today’s writing for my best friend, my husband, and my hero, John. He is the only person that can bring a smile to my face, crack me up in laughter so hard that my sides hurt, and do some of the most amazing things in the world. John is at the moment on the other side of our planet, in Afghanistan. I do miss him, and I know he misses not just me, but also the home of the brave and the land of the free. Via this blog, I want to reach out to friends all around the world, whose loved ones are trying to make our world a better place. For some while now, my heart has not in designing or doing anything but being glued to the computer screen, and I had to stop and think. Life must go on, and we must pick up our feet again and 
again to do something not just for ourselves, but for the good of many. I’m proud to know such a person and proud to share some personal glimpses.
There are many friends who have met John and know of his adventuresome nature. See if you can recognize him in the native garb! I’m counting the days till his return.
Hopefully, by writing this blog, I can get over my anxiousness and do something productive.
Sadia, what a touching blog! I’ll keep John in my prayers for safe return. Both of you are very special people. He was so nice to me and my daughter at the AEC. We miss you. Love, Karen
Sadia, we thought John was helping over there. Such a pleasure and honor to have spent some time with him at conference and at home. Same guy no matter what the setting, calm and so helpful! So tough on you, but he can only do it all with your support and that deep love.
Maybe the tease on the home life with the ponds from last blog will bring him home sooner. Take it easy girlfriend! Both of you are in my prayers! Nutmeg
Sadia and John, I’m proud to know special people like you. I thoroughly enjoyed the time at the ASG with both of you. Everytime I stitch out your trapunto designs, I remember John’s detailed explanations. God bless you both.
JoAnn.
He’s my hero also along with my son who is over there.
Dear friends,
Thank you so much for your posts. John was tickled to read them. Nancy, I will keep your son in my thoughts. Hugs to all, Sadia
My prayers are also going up to ask for protection, accomplishments, and a safe return of your dearest friend. along with prayers,hugs & hopes that you will have a peaceful heart. Eileen
