Bless you, Cindy! And I'll add your son to my prayer list.
I have one nephew (Army) who has just returned from Iraq. Another nephew (Marine) who went to Iraq, came back, went to sniper school, and is now in those scary mountains of Afghanistan, looking for Osama. Don's son, my stepson, is career Army, as Don was, and is currently stationed in Virginia. I sure hope he doesn't have to go overseas, but he probably will. He was in the first Desert Storn and in Haiti, among other duties. My Don served 2 tours of duty in Viet Nam (in helicopters), and a tour in Korea. My first husband served as a Navy officer aboard a destroyer. My son was a Marine for several years, over 20 years ago.
I have such chest bursting pride in my military family and ALL military families.
Big, big hugs to you for letting him go......
And you just come here and cry anytime you feel like it! |
