Upon returning from training in Texas, and through tears of pride and relief and and hugs welcoming him, he reached over and gave me a bag. He said, " This is for you." In the bag was a beautiful plaque with a picture similar to our last trip to Ottawa on it. Written upon the picture was a prayer. I thought I would share his gift with you. Thank you Son. I love you very, very much.

The Military Mom
Give me the greatness of heart to see,
The difference between duty and his love for me.
Give me understanding, so that I may know,
When duty calls him, he must go.
.
Give me a task to do each day,
To fill the time when he's away.
When he's in a foreign land,
Keep him safe in your loving hand.
.
And Lord, when duty is in the field,
Please protect him and be his shield.
And Lord, when deployment is so long,
Please stay with me and keep me strong.
