Last night was a bit of a stressful night for me.... ok, a lot of a stressful night!


I've known for a couple of months now that J will be deploying to Afghanistan between now and Easter.

Yes, tons of prayers and positive thoughts for you and your loved ones...try to stay in the moment, hard, I know...


DS's good friend will be here tonight...he graduated from the Marine Corp. Boot Camp this week and will be home now for a month! Then??? Not sure yet. We are all excited to see him...he is the first of our near and dears (of my kids' generation) to go into the military...

Sorry to hear that, Rose. Can't say that my prayers will do much good--I've been praying, for years, for an end to this whole mess. But I'll keep trying. Hopefully our leaders will figure out the meaning of diplomacy sometime between now and when your DSs are deployed so that they are not all in war zones at the same time, if they end up going at all.

They'll all be home for the holidays, right? Sometimes that fear of the future makes us more appreciative of the little things in the present. Best wishes for a happy Xmas.

Lots of prayers & positive thoughts, Rose! I think so many people, like myself, don't stop to think about all the sacrifices being made by our military and their families. I will keep all of you in my thoughts & prayers.
