Oooooooh. [Big sigh inserted here]. That’s how I’m feeling tonight.
I haven’t been able to talk to C in a while. There have been one death after another the past few days in Afghanistan. So many young men lost their lives because of the evil there. I wonder if it’s worth it. Will it help? Is all the time that these young men are away from their families and loved ones fighting in that country worth it? Will it protect America? Will they clear out the Taliban and then more men will be recruited to re-join their evil causes?
All the worry I have inside is overwhelming. There is so much more time for C to make it through safely. The closer they get to the dangerous areas the more I worry. I want this over. I want time to fly by. I want him home safe to me. I want this behind us.
On top of all these thoughts it’s hard not to have communication. It’s hard not to fall back to worrying when you can’t hear anything. Communication gets shut down and there’s nothing that can be done about it. I worry about everything. It’s not that I don’t believe that he is safe right now – it’s just that when you have silence in your communications your mind wanders and you can’t help but think about the one you love so far away from you. So much worry. So many anxieties…
I just want to be able to talk to him…to hear from him. I just want him safe. I just want him HOME.

God give us strength.
