My little soldier boy (on the right at age 4) deployed to Afghanistan last week.
Obviously, he's a grown man now. A wonderful, brave, young man.
His new bride, our sweet daughter-in-law, Yujin, cooked him one of her family-famous Korean feasts before he left on his nine-month tour.
The sacrifices Davey and Yujin are making, well, I think they're incredible. The sacrifices all of our military men and women and their families make are monumental.
I'm not going to worry. I'm not going to worry. I. am. not. going. to. worry! Click here for my previous post about worry vs. wonder.

Today I chose to wonder. I hope you have a wonderous day too!

Thank you to your son and his family (you too) for a great service to this country. I will keep all of you in my prayers each night! God Bless him on his journey.
ReplyDeletei am also a military wife and know how you feel....my husband was with one of the first groups sent to afghanistan and it was a scary time for me. I will keep his wife in my thoughts and prayers.
ReplyDeleteI pray courage and protection for your son! My son is becoming a state tropper in Washington state and these men are often shot at, too. Not the same as being a soldier but enough to make me wonder! ♥
ReplyDeleteThank you, your son, his wife, your husband....all of you for the sacrifice. I will keep you all in my prayers.
ReplyDeleteHugs,
Meri
I will wonder with you...love that wise advice.
ReplyDeleteI was an Army wife, but it has been many years since I have had to worry about someone I love serving in the military. May God bless you, your son and your family during your son's journey and selfless service.
ReplyDeleteI am adding your Ben (mine is in the USAF) to my prayer list! I'm so grateful to all the men and women, I didn't know how patriotic I was until my son enlisted. Don't worry, Mom; pray instead of ruminate and the Lord will give you peace that passes all understanding. Meanwhile, maybe you can have your daughter in law teach you to make bulgogi and mandu!
ReplyDeleteXXOO,
Tammy
Thank you for your wonderful advice. I will wonder today as well...What an incredible son and daughter in law to sacrifice for all of us. Thank you...Renee
ReplyDeleteI pray that your son stays safe while he is deployed. Will be thinking about you all. I know it is difficult for military families.
ReplyDeleteGod Bless You All!
Hugs

He is a brave young man. I thank him for his service and you for raising such a nice son.
ReplyDeleteMy heart goes out to you and your family. I would not take a son or daughter leaving for nine months as well as you are.
ReplyDeleteYou must be so proud of your son. I am so thankful for all the men and women who sacrifice so much for our country. Praying that he stays safe.

May God bless your son, and watch over him always. I am truly thankful for his sacrifice for our country. ;o)
ReplyDeleteMy thoughts are with you and your family while he is serving our country, keep thinking about the day he will come home and you can give him a huge hug!
ReplyDeleteOh Cindy thank Davey and Yujin for the incredible sacrifice they are making for us. He is such a handsome young man. My niece is going to deploy to Afghanistan in early November. She will be there for 9 months no leave. Thank you so much for the advice. God will be watching over both of them.

I am going to keep your son in my prayers, and you in my prayers so you don't worry. thanks for visiting and leaving the nice comment, I am loving it so far. I am anxious to see how it turns out! Thanks for visiting, and also for reminding me I need to make another post!

Dear Cindy,
ReplyDeleteThis Mother's heart will be praying for your sweet son. He is truly one of our newest greatest generation!
Blessings to your entire family,
Carolynn xoxo
My youngest son returned from Afghanistan this past March.
Prayers for all of you! It is such a tremendous sacrifice of all the soldiers and their families. Blessing to you for raising such a brave man.
ReplyDeleteOh Cindy, prayers go out for the safety of your son. It will be a bit difficult as newlyweds to be apart. I remember when I had 5 young children and my hubby was deployed for Desert Storm. They thought he could be gone for up to 3 years. It was a hard thing, but our hearts grew fonder. Luckily he returned home after 5 months.

awww....such a sweet picture of him as a little guy!! We'll be keeping him (and his worrying mother) in our prayers! Thanks for raising such a giving guy!!
ReplyDeleteps....loved the pictures of your visit with your daughter & son-in-law too....so very fun ~ love the doilies :)
Big hugs for you. Be brave like him. He is a handsome young man. I know you are proud of him.
ReplyDeleteMy father is an retired Army Sargent. I thank God everyday he came home from Vietnam. If he had not there would have been no ME!
ReplyDeleteYour son is doing our country a wonderful service. I know it will be hard for you not to worry. (I am a terrible worry-wart) But just know how much we all appreciate his duty. And you obviously raised your son to be proud of his nation.
Hats off to you and your family! :)

I love that little army picture. Soooo cute. I just read To Hell and Back this Summer (still need to watch the movie.) I have an even greater adoration and respect for our men and women in camo.
