Friday, December 12th, 2008
Yesterday my oldest son left for Iraq. It's feels very sad and depressing. It also causes me a lot of anxiety knowing he is in harm's way. I will have him on my mind and in my heart and can only hope I will continue to function in a normal manner while he is gone.
I have a lot of admiration for Sarah Palin who sent her son to Iraq during her Vice Presidential campaign recently. I wondered at the time how she could continue campaigning in the public eye when her heart had to be filled with pain. I guess we all go through difficult things and keep on going.......if we are strong enough.
I have three other children and two wonderful grandchildren. I am trying to focus my attention on giving them a good Christmas this year in spite of the dire economy. I've been staying very busy making preparations for the biggest holiday of the year at our house. The dreary days of January and February are when I'll have the hardest time worrying about my oldest son. I don't think he will be gone too long and will definitely look forward to his return.
Thank you for reading and please keep my son, and all other sons serving in Iraq and Afghanistan, in your prayers this Christmas.
