I was sitting here typing a post... sharing some random thoughts on what it's like to be the mom of two warriors.
................then my cell phone rang.
My youngest son called to let me know he may be deploying in September for six months to Afghanistan. He told me 'it's why he ties his boots.'
The post I was writing, has obviously evaporated. Perhaps, those thoughts will reappear on a new day.
Prayers are lifted....Thy will be done.

My son's dear wife will go through her first prenancy on their first deployment. brave gal. And we want to help any way we can. They are so cute together. so in love.
My prayers are with you, with him and our troops. God Bless our troops!!!
