Hugged my soldier for the 3rd time in 5 minutes. And I looked up into his green eyes and didn't know what to say to him, except "I love you and I am so proud of you, and don't worry about us; we will be fine."
Yeah, right. I won't be "fine," but it seemed like the appropriate thing to say to him. I can't even type these words without tears streaming down my face.
I watched him walk out the door and disappear from my sight. Yes, I know there will be telephones, Skype, emails, etc., but I cannot believe I will not hug my son for a year.
And I pray to Almighty God that I will indeed have that opportunity.
