It's a roller coaster of ups and downs the career families tell me to get used to. I don't know that I ever will, or that I ever want to.RebeccaMcCormickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05398220528117105389noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9587882.post-1121684251092543272005-07-18T03:57:00.000-07:002005-07-18T03:57:00.000-07:00I hate the silence.

Your blog is helping me prepare for his inevitable march to war.

I did not hear from my son for almost two days, but at 0200 this morning when i heard that door open up on the im, i was wide awake, and could not stop pecking away at the keyboard. Nothing better than a phone call , but that instant messenger will just have to do for us. I am like you, I sit, and I wait, and I pray daily, and when I don't see him and another buddy online, I then start to worry, because between the two of them, I can just about chat with one of them almost anytime, except for when they shut the internet off due to a casualty.<BR/><BR/>My mom and I are getting some packages together now to send via snail mail to your guys. My son still needs nothing, so I am actualy having a little fun again getting packages together for them. Thanks for the name and addresses, they will be on their way this week to your guys.Stacyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03655212668489390745noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9587882.post-1121639992487509272005-07-17T15:39:00.000-07:002005-07-17T15:39:00.000-07:00"The Sound of Silence"--used to think that was jus..."The Sound of Silence"--used to think that was just a catchy song, but after saying goodbye to my hubby one too many times, I realize there actually IS a sound to silence. <BR/><BR/>It's like walking underwater for a few weeks...where stuff goes on around you, but you feel like there is this big vacuum all around you where you are there, but not quite...I can relate.<BR/><BR/>I'm glad you were able to hear from him...even the not-so-comforting things. I'll continue to pray for all of you.Melindahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13828848189028464069noreply@blogger.com
