Just a bit about what's going on....

Not that you NEED to know, but it's important to me and my family and those that know me that read this blog....my one and only child is on his third deployment. He has served two tours in Irag - the first being 15 months, the second being 12 months with a 12 month lay over between the two. He is now on his third deployment, this time to Afghanistan for the first time. The first time he was deployed, me and my Mom did it together alone. The second time, we did it with his new wife, which we barely knew, but we did it and came out together with a stronger bond between the three of us. This time, all three of us are doing it together and are stronger than ever before as a united front of Women who care about a young man, only 23 years old.

Granted, this is what he has wanted to do since he was eight years old. His dream was ALWAYS to defend his Country no matter what. However - me....well, I'll be honest here, not so much. This is MY ONLY CHILD!! But I will support him and HIS dreams and goals NO MATTER WHAT! He is doing it with his whole heart behind it and with the love and support of EVERYONE in our family fully behind him.

So, to all of you that have been deployed or currently have someone deployed that you love....STAY STRONG!

Love ya! ~ Me!
