Subject: asking for prayers for my little soldier and...

Hello,
I just wanted to write a quick note and let all of you know my son, my "little soldier",(this is what I would call him) Bryan, is on his way to the middle east, he left early this morning, he said "Mom, this is what I joined the Army for, this is what I have been training for"... he volunteered for this ... We didn't have much notice, ... I feel so many things left unsaid and undone... but then would there have ever been enough time...I remember him at 4 years old playing with his G I Joe's and when ever anyone would ask him what he would be when he grew up, he would always say...I'm going to be a soldier and fight for my country... it never changed, that has always been his goal...and we are all so very proud of him...so what I am asking for is that all of you keep him, and all of our soldiers there in your thoughts and prayers... and that they all are safely home soon, and for those who have lost someone in this war, they too will someday will find a way to get through their pain and loss... and please keep Bryan's wife, Melissa, and 4 children, 10 yr old Jonathon, 7 yr old Chelsie, 4 yr old Samantha, and 2 year old Jacob in your prayers also. It has been a pretty emotional day here, but they know their daddy is fighting for their freedom... and as Chelsie says "and for all the other people to live with our freedom also". This afternoon I sat and watched as Jonathon played with his little plastic army men... he must have a thousand... and for years this has been his favorite toy... I wondered if someday he would be a soldier also... one thing I have discovered, is that when you have a child who is a soldier, all of the soldiers become your child... I guess it's just a mom thing... I am too tired right now but remind me to tell you guys about my dream... Bryan chuckled and said... "only you, Mom"...know that I love you all, and continue to hold you all close in my heart as I keep you in my thoughts and prayers...
Thank you once again...
Much love and peace, my dear friends,
Char
