Already…….
…………..this blog is serving it’s purpose. I pulled a very long day today and came home very tired. Had a brief chat via text with my son and we shared our confusion over how this whole thing feels….deep ‘mom/son’ stuff but you guys understand, I hope. I cried a lot and I have learned to do it when he doesn’t know about it because I don’t want to burden him with worrying about me when he faces such a task as this…..
And then, I log on to this blog and I have a comment waiting for me on my most recent post. Not just any well meaning comment, because they all are…..but a comment from a VETERAN!! I appreciate ALL my comments and all my support from everyone who stops here for a moment or two…..but when it comes from someone who has served our country and to whom I have to thank for my own freedoms and rights today….that really was uplifting!! And again, today was another one of those “really need it days.”
I guess I am starting to realize there are going to be mostly “really need it days” until my son’s feet are firmly and safely back in this GREAT country we live in and even more so when I can wrap my arms around my baby boy’s neck (of course, reaching up to do it) and tell him how proud his mama is!! Not to mention over the moon to have him home!!!!!!!!!!!!
Please join me in thanking the Veteran who stopped by today for turning my day around with his words……..and please keep them coming everyone….it makes all the difference and means soooooooooooooooo much to me.
God Bless the USA!
