My son left yesterday for Iraq. I was ready this time to say goodbye. I didn't fall down and blubber like a crazy person. I hugged him, prayed over him and then hugged him again...and again and stole a kiss ;)
Then he boarded the plane. I only had tears in my eyes, until we got into the car and got out of OKC. Then I cried.
It's a hard thing sending your son off, knowing that might be the last time you'll ever see him, knowing he's going into harm's way, knowing that despite how light you have made of it, he still might not come back home.

I just found your website, then consequently your blog today. I finished reading your book, Shelter from the Storm, this morning and got online to see if you did, in fact, decide to continue the series with Angelina and Todd. As a result, I found more about you and your family.
Anyway, I do hope that your son is okay, and that you and your family continue to do well. I admire your strong faith! I'll pray for you and your family:)
Also, I plan to do some more reading. It's nice to find clean romance books. I'm a hopeless romantic and am also a sucker for happy endings. It's hard to find those without some other unwanted ingredients these days--though I'm ashamed to say I wasn't always so picky!
Take care and hope to hear more news of you soon!
