The Marine son of a close friend of mine is being deployed in March. While his mother says she feels peace about it, I can only imagine what her heart of hearts is experiencing...or will experience.

Bless you, Ohio.

It is possible to feel peace and still experience pain.

The peace comes from God and is VERY real. The pain comes from being a Mom (or wife), and experiencing great loss, and the potential that the loss will be permanent, even IN God's will.

No hiding the fact that those days were tough......
