A day with mixed emotions
January 3, 2009First I want to thank everyone for the special Holdiay wishes. I am sorry that I wasn't able to respond to all of you, but I do hold them all dear to my heart. I have been busy for the past 2 weeks with my son being home. I tried to get in as much time with him as I could.
Well today we had to take him back to the airport. My feelings and emotions are so torn. It was wonderful having him home. He looks great and really is a dfferent person from the one who left here in September.
While he was home, he was hanging out alot with his friends and it just seemed like he didn't fit in with them any more. I think he is really starting to out grow them, thank God!! He is moving ahead with his life and has a real future and his friends are all stuck right where he left them.
So you can see where emotions can be torn. I am happy that he is home but even happier that he is away from his friends and moving on with his life, but sad because I will miss him like crazy,
He will be graduating the Armour division at the end of this month and from there he is going to Fort Irwin, CA. He will be there for about 2 years and then on to Afganistan. I am hoping that our new president pulls us out of there before then.
So my dear Loyal friends, please continute to pray for my son and our soldiers. Have a healthy and Happy New Year. Let's hope 2009 will be better than 2008!!
