Prayers for certain. A thought popped into my head as I read. How about having your grand daughter lie down on and trace her sweet baby body as a quilt for your soldier while he is away. You could even put her picture with her Mom on it.

I will have one for my older son and his family but I have to wait until his wife and daughter comes up next week to give me their shoes and hand prints. They don't know why I have asked them for the prints (or outlines I should say) I hope they will like it.
Oh my older son will not be coming up for Christmas. He is leaving Sunday the 12th for Afghanistan and will be there until end of April to the beginning of May. I would appreciate prayers for out troops. Thank you.

And prayers for the oldest

Thank you Deema. We always pray for our troops so your Father in law is in our prayers too. God bless.

Here's an extra {hug} for you for when you're missing your son...I know it doesn't replace a hug from his arms, but I understand how you are feeling.
