She sits beside herself knitting a shroud of worry The news sprang out of nowhere From his lips to Mothers ears Enlist? When? Why? Let's talk about this son You've already decided? Please at least wait until November so we can maybe get an idea of.. ..there's a war going on son... ..you are a grown man now son, and.. ...we support you...we love you..we need you WE NEED YOU!!!! Her heart is a lump in her throat It will remain lodged there keeping the taste of coppery fear in her mouth and fresh in her mind How can this be? We talk about this war around the dinner table almost every night She wants to run in the streets SHOUTING.. NO! You can't have him!! He's Mine!! He's Mine *hes mine* |

I wrote this 1 1/2 years ago. My son leaves tomorrow. How do Mothers get through this? |

My prayers are with you all. I don't know how you deal with a child leaving for this reason, I really don't. I know one thing for sure that we are never given more than we can deal with. Let's hope they stop sending troops over there soon. Keep us posted, won't you? |

painfully poignant Tina. it is not my son but my grandson who is leaving for his third deployment. I long to run in the streets shouting too. his mother, wife and I get through it day by day and often, minute by minute. my heart is with you. "They also serve who only stand and wait" |

Dear Tina, just to imagine by reading your powerful, poignant words, makes me want to go out shouting too ... When will humanity ever learn to stop fighting each other and co-operate in creating a world of peace and wellbeing for everyone? Fear is the worst ally though, please accompany your son trusting his safety and asking the Angels to protect him. Love, Margherita  |
