The affection and support one can find on this site is very comforting, isn't it? It is indeed, baseballmom! It is indeed!
To: Luis Gonzalez
You certainly have a way of applying the arrow of truth to the heart of the matter.
Your boys are adorable, shining with love and life. And peace (as much as two young boys can be at peace!).

Beautifully written Ohio. It tugs at the heartstrings. He looks, sounds like a fine young man. You have many reasons to be proud of him. It takes so much to raise a child, but it is all worth it, worth every minute of every heartache and every joy. May God watch over Eric.

God bless you all.

This is one of the most moving, touching, and wonderful posts I have seen in all of my time on FreeRepublic.
The reason your son is such a great person is easy for those of us who "know" you to understand. He was raised by such a wonderful mother.
You have been such a dear friend to so many here, going the extra mile for each of us. It is no surprise you have such an exceptional son.
Our hearts and prayers will be with Eric as he serves us all in the Army Reserves, and with his Parents who have sacrificed so much to make him the fine example of Christian faith that he obviously is.
Thank you for sharing this with us all. We are so proud to have the opportunity to salute Eric for doing his duty for his country and his God!
I thank God for Mother's like you who raise children who respect this country enough to give up several years of their lives to keep us free.
May God be with him every step of the way, and bring him back to you and his father with wonderful memories of the time he spent serving his country.

Thanks for the ping to this, Snow Bunny!
OhioWfan, you have a son who I know you feel very proud of, as you should. What a handsome boy he is! I know that there are bitter/sweet feelings that must overwhelm you one after the other. May God Bless you and Eric and keep him safe. He will be in our prayers daily as we give thanks and ask for the safety of all those people who have given of themselves to provide us with security and freedom. :))

Thank you so much, Snow Bunny......this essay came right from my heart!
To: ladyinred
Thank you for your incredibly kind words, ladyinred!
In my year plus at FR I have meant some wonderful people, and you are among the best!
It should be noted, though, that the our children have an incredible father, who is also an incredible husband........and Eric has inherited a large part of his Dad's personality! :o)
To: MistyCA
Thank you for praying for his safety, Misty.
I know that he has just begun, but God's protection for him is one of my deepest felt prayers.
To: ReaganRevolution
