Instead of going to Afghanistan, my oldest son,<br />Shawn was deployed to Germany for four months - to a wonderful base he'd been to for two weeks last year. He did miss his middle brother's wedding by one week, sadly - he was supposed to be best man - but we were just so glad he would not be in a war zone. He's enjoying Germany since they work a 3 day on, 3 day off schedule so they take off for places in Europe and are having a great time.<br /><br />I'm glad you stayed with the Alpha-be. I think I've only missed one.<br /><br />Please do, always remember me, and my family, in your prayers and I will do the same for you.RNSANEhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02841873957894861725noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35775558.post-86098386131373347272010-07-01T13:48:49.710-07:002010-07-01T13:48:49.710-07:00Very nice poem.

I agree with Polly, that it flows so nicely and is very good advice for anyone about to embark on a journey! <br /><br />You, Carmen, are the reason why I started participating in Mrs. Matlock's Alphabe-Thursday-meme. I read one of your poems, and decided to give it a try. I started with 'D' and have stuck with it until now with the letter 'X'.<br /><br />A while back, you asked me to pray for your son(s) who was(were) going to be deployed in Afganistan or somewhere dangerous. I would just like you to know that your whole family has been in my prayers since!<br /><br />Best wishes,<br />Anna<br /><a href="http://annasadornments.blogspot.com/2010/06/x-is-for-x-ray-and-x-marks-spot.html" rel="nofollow">Anna's X-words</a>Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17926688000745346961noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35775558.post-69838109136168048612010-07-01T13:25:46.724-07:002010-07-01T13:25:46.724-07:00I so agere.
