Thanks so much for including me in your pings to this touching story. I know you're prejudiced; however, the facts speak to what this young person has accomplished so far in his life, and to his inner strength and beliefs. It does indeed put a face on "our troops". I'm so glad you posted the picture. What a fresh-faced, handsome youngster! I can only imagine the void you have in your life today. Prayers for you and yours.

Thank you!

There is indeed a void in my heart and in my life today. I am trying to focus on the three children who are here, but my heart is with the one who is not.
