Most definitely a huge sigh of relief and filled with gratitude that he finished his contract and got out alive and well! 5 years is a long time to 'hold your breath'.
ReplyDeleteThank you for your comment, Paula!
ReplyDeleteYes, I did just exactly that, hold my breath, while he was in Iraq...when he later went to Afghan I just tried to trust...and wait...and we were blessed with his safe return...a gift! 5 years is a long time!!!...still so grateful!! thanks again!!
