It's ...This is such a beautifully tragic story. It's amazing how strong she is and how she is honoring his memory. Nothing is harder than loosing someone you love, especially your Soldier. <br /><br />You are so right, the only thing that helps is turning to God. For a long time I was angry with God for my mom's second deployment but when I realize that got me nowhere, I started to pray. I prayed for calmness of mind, the safety for my mom and all the others serving. I also kept busy. If I wasn't doing something productive or helpful I would sit and dwell on what my mom was doing or going through. Although you never stop thinking about it, it does ease the tension in your gut for a little while anyways. <br /><br />I thought of this the other day. If C ever get's deployed (I pray he doesn't)I think I will send you my mom's journal from her time in Iraq. It really helped me understand a lot more not only about my mom but what she was doing and experiencing. <br /><br />Love you JessAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
