I am preparing myself for no communication. He will be in a very remote part of the country. I’m trying to get my brain to think, no news is good news.
Tell him we are so grateful for his service, and for yours as well.
No news is good news. I can understand that completely. I sent off my daughter back to the Dominican Republic last week. I prayed constantly for her safe arrival back to the village she teaches in. She arrived safely, but her travels and safety are always in the forefront of my thinking.
I would put something in your tagline like “please pray for my son in Afghanistan”
I did something like that when mine was in Iraq and the comments I received from FReepers were a comfort and a strength.
I did have good comm while he was there. Do you know if they get mail in the field? If so, writing those letters, like we did when they were in boot camp, can give you something else positive to do for him.
