You are now on deployment, I did not get to hear your voice before you left but I am so grateful to have seen you, your beautiful wife and my two beautiful grandbabies this past Thanksgiving, I would have been very lost if I had not got to see you before you went.
This is always a very hard time for me, you are somewhere that I cannot get to you if you need me. I cannot control the rest of the world, heck...I cannot even control my world. But one thing is constant and that is my love for you.
Son, I love you so very much...I am very proud of you as a father, husband and son and I will be thinking of you every single moment until you get your feet back on US Soil! Now your wife and girls are closer to us while you are gone and I will do what I can to take care of them for you.
Your sister, Mariah is still waving the flag for you in the front of our home!
Love you so very much, be safe!
Mommy
