My Sam is flying toward Iraq as I write. He has been trained, he is ready, he loves his country, he loves God. All systems GO!
After receiving his deployment orders on Monday it has been hectic for him. Up in the air junior bird man, he is atta here. I'm okay. Not great, but okay. Tiny meltdown...
Since Monday he has had vaccines, medical and dental checkup, packed, found storage, packed some more, had his name sewed to his bags, clean his apartment, bought a new camera, said his good byes and this is the part that just does his Mama in, he made his funeral arrangements. Busy guy with a heavy load.
We are so proud of our soldier. And we are on our knees.

Oh wow, I can't even imagine. Prayers to you all!!!
The tears came on full force with that last comment. Oh my. Praying for him and so proud of his willingness to serve.
How are things going in the empty nest??? Hawaii plans??
That last comment is hard to think about and makes it very real. Praying for Sam and family.
Praying for Sam and for Reese tonight. God bless them and may God keep them safe.
