This is the first year my son has been away at Christmas, and while I thank God that he is not in Iraq or Afghanistan, I still am having a terrible time dealing with him being away. He is in the Army stationed in Korea and I feel bad that he's alone without all of his family, which makes me even sadder. I'm trying to hang in there, and I have a wonderfully supportive husband, still, it's very hard. God bless all our service men and women serving their country. And to other mothers, we have to be strong, bless you, too!

Thanks for asking.I guess I am ok. My oldest son,22, is in Baghdad, and I haven't heard from him in a while.and that's the hardest part. When he graduated from high school a week later he went into the Air Force, as soon as he completed training, and tech school, he was sent to Kuwait,so he has been "there", for most all of five years. If it weren't for my other boy's, 2 of whom are now 18,(that scares me), I would be a wreck!! We just do alot of praying!!!

I'm doing fine... I just remember where he is, what he's doing, WHY he's doing it, and that's all I can do... He contacts us when he can, and because our whole family has served, we understand when he can't contact us... I spent this particular holiday with friends, and it helped me to move through the days...
