Hope


My son has had dozens of people cry on his shoulder in the last 4 days, as they hug him, and tell him to be safe, in Kuwait, and Baghdad.

It was my turn this afternoon.

I hope to God that this was the toughest day of my life.

  1. Possibly there are tough days ahead, but I'm with you, babe: May this one be as bad as any you'll encounter.

  7. The brother a dear friend of mine was in Iraq for three years. I couldn't imagine how hard it must have been for their family. My friend once told me, "We just have to trust that he'll be okay. That's all we can do."

    Thankfully he came home safely.

    I, too, hope that this is your hardest day. My thoughts are with you and Brian until he comes home.
