Our Sons and Daughters – If you have ever loved a soldier you will understand this WWII mom

Our Sons and Daughters- Letting them go and finding our peace
In the past few months I have thought a lot about what it must be like to send a son or daughter to war. I’ve sent a husband but never a child. This last year I have watched friends say goodbye to their children with a good mix of pride and fear. I’ve felt that. … Continue reading
