my son in law has served 4 tours in iraq and has his orders for afghanistan next; each time he goes he leaves behind my daughter and 3 daughters of their own...it is always very very hard on all 4 girls. my youngest son enlisted this past summer, so far (as far as i know, he could be trying to spare me stress)he has not yet been ordered to go there.
everytime sil goes it about kills me; last time he came home injured (roadside bomb/tank accident) had back surgery...but they fixed him well enough to send him back again. i am so tired of it all!
i make quilts, participate in every function that comes up...it is never enough...
the first one i made when sil was deployed
