The time has gone by so quickly.  Before I know it my son will be deploying to the middle east.  Uneasiness kind of settles at the bottom of my stomach with that thought.  Worry, oh how I will try not to get more grey hair...but I am a Mother, first and foremost.  And, it seems that that is one of my strong suits...always worrying how my children are doing.  This child of mine, while very well equipped for what he will be doing, will no doubt constantly be on my mind.  And so will my new daughter-in-law.  I pray for a swift return and a safe one at that.
