Thank you, Mozie....yes, it made me sadder. Each one who dies hurts....but there was just something about his face that touched me.....it hurts and I know you worry something fierce about your son. God Be With Him until he returns home.
God be with them all....
We haven't been able to attend any of the Family Readiness Group meetings because, since he enlisted down in Madison and his NG unit is based there, that is where the FRG is located (nearly a 3 hour drive from here). I was starting to feel rather out of touch so I asked the local FRG group if I could join them (we have a company based right here in Green Bay that is also part of the 32nd and deployed to Iraq.) Today hubby & I attended our first meeting and I am SO GLAD...they were very welcoming and said of course we can consider ourselves part of their group; after all, their guys are deployed in Iraq also, so we are all going through the same thing. All of the issues that were brought up were concerns that we have also had. It was so great to connect with people who are going through the same thing we are.
After the meeting we stayed and helped crate up 600 boxes of Girl Scout cookies donated by our local council to send to the guys.:)
