Ok Uncle Sam...


...You've got a piece of my heart in your hands now

*You've trained him well. His exact words to me were, "We'll be ok.  Got the best squad anyone could ask for."
I had a nice long chat with Justin last night. I know he hated to tell me his deployment will be 6 months and not 4. That was a hard pill to swallow. So now I'm looking for ways to soothe my heart and soul.
Then it occurred to me as I walked out to get the morning paper & I looked up to see a beautifully lit moon, that even tho my J-bird is 1000's of miles away from me-we share the same moon, the same sky, the same stars & I smiled & was comforted...my silver lining.
Happy Snapping

If you are a mother, than you will totally understand that where ever your children go-a piece of your heart goes with them. Mine just happens to be in a desert over in the Middle East. My heart won't be complete until he is home safe and sound & surrounded by loved ones. BTW...he is well for those that have been asking.

  1. Awww, Mama..Those are the exact words (or along those lines) I said to my mom the other day when I was missing her. It is comforting to know that in this great big world we still do share the same moon. xo Thinking of you.

  3. I sense a touch of melancholy for you. But the moon was fabulous and there is no way he could not have looked up and seen it too
