dec 4th

dec 4, 2006    the day my son leaves for Iraq   so  i learned tonite   i'm handling it better now than the initial time   i must have faith he will be fine, no matter what happens   it is in Spirit's hands now   i can't tell at the moment how he's really feeling and i'm not sure whether to ask or not   i gave him some advice tonite for he had yet to pick up my letter i sent over a month ago giving him that advice   so i'll talk to him a few more times before he leaves   once he leaves, i have no clue when i'll hear from him again   he's the worst letter writer ever   he just doesn't do it   maybe i can have contact via email   some GIs due have internet access over there   with Kyle being an MP, i'm not sure he'll have access   all i can do is pray and hope    he said he'll be there til next August   that is longer than six months as originally told   but i will say my prayers, light a vigil if i must daily, nightly   i know he will come home....
