It turns out I know his father and plan to make a condolence call during the shiva period (the 7 day mourning period following the death). I am usually at a complete loss as to what to say but I'll keep your words in mind when I go. Thank you for sharing your pain and yes, your courage and strength because even if you don't see it that way - what the rest of us see is that you are able to find that new normal, that ability to function.A Soldier's Motherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11370218893899121159noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1731111789859373532.post-51879343118365501472009-05-08T01:05:00.000-07:002009-05-08T01:05:00.000-07:00As a future officer I will take these words and ot...As a future officer I will take these words and others you have spoken to me and use them in ways that will require me too.

Even my own Mother ask, "now, where is Afghanistan, up by Pakistan?" And my youngest said things I cannot repeat to his brother. I am glad he feels like he can say anything to me, but best to dump them in the notebook, too, I think. And on my blog, I have to be careful what I share or people jump on me for not sending him off well. Yikes.joycehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11456465195258073699noreply@blogger.com
