Yes, tough for me, FWI, but much easier knowing he's so happy! (And two weeks of the first nine are over!! Yessss!!!)
Thanks for the prayers and support lodwick and MamaBear! I figure there's a parallel between the military and heaven........you feel a whole lot differently about it when you know and love someone who's there! :o)
My prayers for the men and women who serve in the military (and their families) have certainly intensified since Eric joined!
