another deployment day gone by

I last spoke with our soldier on June 27th, his 23rd birthday. His sisters and brother ask every day if I spoke with him. I see a trace of him on his web page.. no updates, no blogs, just a sign on, which for the most part on most days is enough to keep me going. Today though, I just miss him. I just wish he were here to see his sister's belly growing and his sister in laws belly growing. Wish he were here to see that Isabella is walking now. Emma has so many new adult teeth growing in and is excited about starting first grade.

We all miss our soldier and pray for his safety and the safety of all the men and women there. I just want to hear his voice. I hope he calls today.
