It is a worry isn't it http://www.co8.org/forum/images/smilies/icon_hug.gif Not a day passes I don't think about him. Fortunately, he is still able to keep in surprisingly regular contact on Facebook to let us know he is okay. He received his Christmas packages from us yesterday and was delighted with the box of decorations that I sent :christmastree: The constant state of worry is exhausting, though! He is gone for 4 months and it feels like an eternity. Every time I hear the word, "Afghanistan" on the news or the radio, my heart plummets into my gut. The day he lands safely back home can not come soon enough :my lord:

christmas presents....

Definitely Christmas..

Christmas shopping :presents1: I'm way behind :p
