A Long Time Coming.....

No one tells you when your child enters the military of the days and nights of wondering WHERE they are, HOW they are, are they SAFE and countless other questions that can plague a mothers soul. When they hand you the little bundle that you just gave life to, you don't think about the day when all of a sudden you are NOT in control of their life. Now, I know that spiritually we are never in control....but in a parent's heart you really want to know that they are OK--physically and spiritually.

When the little birdies fly the nest with wings that have grown strong and tough, a mother longs for the time when they return for a while to the safe haven of her nest. It's where they started and where they are always loved.

I am waiting to see this one. It's been far too long for a mother not to have laid eyes and arms on this boy. He's been in the desert for quite a while and waiting for his return has been a long time coming.
