Good nite Jackie-O, sweetdreams. I understand about your brother, I'm still here with my son. Its a hurry up and wait thing. At least today he had to pack all those hugh bags they have to carry over there and take them in for inspection. Then he bought home this hugh footlocker for all his personal belongings. I thought I might be on my way back home by next week, but they might not leave until April. We are just at a stand still. I may have to go back home and come back if it takes too much longer. I definitely want to be here to hug and kiss him off.

I remember going tru that when my bro went over there for the first time. I was pregnant with my youngest, worried sick. I was constantly glued to the media..
I watched those boys & girls shipping out of Coronado yesterday, saying goodbye to loved ones. I think of our couragous men & women constantly, and tell my brother almost daily how proud I am of him that he has spent the last 20 years of his life devoted to protecting our freedom.
