My son informed me that he will probably be going over there in the next 12 months. He is in the Defence Force.
Oh dear, well I sincerely hope and pray that goes well Jen. Our 18 year old nephew Colin only enlisted 3 months ago, and he will likely be going to Afghanistan within the next year as well. Canada is taking a major role in this war, thousands are deploying there.

Thank you wildfire, I appreciate the prayers. And yes I believe you are correct, it is more difficult for mothers. Often our men hide their emotions though, so who knows what fathers are truly feeling? I am glad for you, that your son is not involved in the war. Especially since he is an only child! I have 4 biological children and 3 adopted. If I had only one I think I would lock him in his room and never let him out! Only kidding. However I sense it would be that much harder to let go.
