Our middle son left for Afganistan this week and needless to say I miss him already. He will only be gone a short time ( 6 weeks) but being a mom I am still concerned for his safety.
Mother's Day will not be the same without his laughter and sense of humor entertaining all of us.
My heart is sad as I think of him being one of the most dangerous areas of the world.....and Oh, so far from home.
This tall handsome responsible young man will always be that tiny beautiful baby with the blue eyes and blond hair that I held in my arms many years ago.
I still see that little boy every time he laughs and teases. Precious are the memories of the fun times when he and his brothers share stories and play games.
I will be counting the days until his safe return and his laughter fills the air I breathe.
I love you, Chad.
Mom
