Well he is now in the sand... so far he has called three times and has the internet so I have been in touch with him.. but my heart drops everytime I hear of someone getting killed in Iraq.
They say the deaths are climbing as they are trying to withdraw, I knew that would happen. and he is going to be there for 15 months. I just am living one day to the next and keep telling myself he will be fine.

bound for Iraq
Well I know it has been awhile, so to catch up... Trav got to come home for christmas, it was great to have him home. Even though he was out and about most of the time. He still came in and out. He got to spend christmas with me, which was nice. Got him a camera which he wanted. So he was running around taken pictures of everyone. I think he will enjoy taking pics as he travels around the world.
Then his dad had a heart cath done in january so he came home on emergency leave again then.. cost me a bundle to get him brought home.. but I dont care.
Anyway he is off to Iraq soon. I know we are on our way out of Iraq but it is still scary to me. My cousin lost her son i Iraq. So the worrisome nights start. 15 months the say. And they are going to lower the amount of troops wont that make it more dangerous for those left behind. I keep thinking about vietnam and the last days being worse for those left. am i just worring about nothing. i look at the site where the post the lost soldiers of war and see we are still losing soldiers in Iraq. Even though we seldom hear of it in the news anymore.. have people forgotten about our soldiers. no one talks about it no more.. is the last of our soldiers going to Iraq the forgotten ones. Please dont forget about our soldiers, my son headed to Iraq, a small town midwest country boy, seeing the world.. yeah as I read what I write sometimes i cant beleive this. Just when you think god has thrown everything at you. and you think you can tackle anything I have been through it all... he throws another one at you.. Keep all the soldiers in your prayers. I do everyday...
