My husband and I are driving a couple hours each way today to attend a going-away party for the man who was Best Man at our wedding. He's an Army Infantry officer who is deploying to Iraq early next week. His wife is throwing a surprise party today for friends and family. It just so happens that Mom and Dad are here to watch the children while we go do big people chores. Actually, it's not a chore, but an honor to go and tell our friend "Be safe. Come home soon. Come home well."
I'm not sure what his mission will be. We pray as a family every night for the safety of the troops. Soon, we'll add a name and a face to that prayer.
