I, however, am here alone, so you FRiends need to keep me company!

I'll keep praying all is okay with your husband daughter. I agree with the no news is good news attitude. I am here alone too. Dh is at a business related event, and Little Miss McLynnan is on her first date! She is seeing Bill Cosby with the cutest boy and his parents. I am new at this "mother of the date" business, but it was so funny when he rang the doorbell and came in to pick her up. Since I know his parents well I skipped the "bring her home safely or Mr. Mc will make you pay" lecture.

You poor thing! As the mother of only one child, and that a son, I never had to go through that. While my prayer has nothing to do with her current date, I pray God gives your daughter His strongest angels at all times, to defend her when judgment is tested and all your training needs to be brought to bear. I know there were times when God protected me during those hairy-scary dating years, in my naivete, against the wiles of unscrupulous people. One of the worst worked with my father! I never dated anyone without my father's consent (my mother had died by the time I started dating), and the guys had to come to the house first to meet my stepdad, but even some of those guys fooled my stepfather.
