Son At War: Part three

Crying makes me sleepy and as we begin the trip home without Garrett I am emotionally exhausted. It's Sunday and I know I should be going to my Father's house to worship Him but all I can manage is to go crawl into bed. The sleep that last night would not come, now over takes me.

Garrett will still be in the States for a few weeks of training before heading to Iraq so for now we don't have to think about his safety. He will have a four day leave while in Mississippi and we will go down for that. It's something to look forward too. Some say the second good-bye will be worse than the one we just endured, I wont miss a chance to be with my son no matter the pain that may follow.
