War and Worry

I have been gone for a very long time, and so much has changed. Marc was sent to Afghanistan, and he came back to us last January. So much worry and so much joy when I saw him walk off that plane. Home. I wanted this to be a blog about our journey, Marc and our family, but was spent with the tears and the knowledge of what my son endured during his deployment, and the sorrow of seeing his comrades who did not return and walk off that plane. This is a challenge that I never foresaw. Please God, please crawl into the hell of his mind that torments him day and night and comfort him. I would crawl in there myself if I could. Please draw around all our soldiers still in harms way, and keep them safe. Wrap Your loving arms around all those beloved of our fallen soldiers, and calm their fears, light their darkness with peace, and surround them with Your loving strength and comfort.
Remember the soldiers who come back. Remember they still need us. An Angel in front, and Angel in back, and Angels on all sides. Amen.
