From a Boy to a Soldier: Reflections of an Army Mom: January 2013

http://reflectionsofanarmymom.blogspot.com/2013_01_01_archive.html

From a Boy to a Soldier: Reflections of an Army Mom. Saturday, January 12, 2013. Struggle. That's life. My oldest son, second child deploying. My oldest dog, not well. That can't happen this year. Not yet. I am not a strong person. I breakdown and cry over things and situations and people just like everyone else. Surprise! Am I having a hot flash? I sure hope so. Chris just left to go out to "the rocks" with girl- from-work Jordan. Just a friend. How can he be that old already? My emotions fluctuate....

From a Boy to a Soldier: Reflections of an Army Mom: July 2012

http://reflectionsofanarmymom.blogspot.com/2012_07_01_archive.html

From a Boy to a Soldier: Reflections of an Army Mom. Sunday, July 22, 2012. Matt's been home for a little over a week now. It's really great to have everyone home. Unfortunately, I am going to Dallas on Tuesday and won't be back until Sunday which is the day Matt leaves to go back to GA. I want to go, but don't want to go. I'll cry. Sick of crying. Friday, July 6, 2012. That was Matt's Facebook post on July 4th. And I didn't cry when I read it! Just can't wait for him to be home. View my complete profile.

From a Boy to a Soldier: Reflections of an Army Mom: June 2012

From a Boy to a Soldier: Reflections of an Army Mom. Friday, June 22, 2012. It's hard to look at these kids and think that in four months some of them will be Army Rangers. They look so young. I'm sure some have lived a lifetime in their short, 20-something years, but to look at them they're all just beginning. They are all just beginning and what they want to do is serve their country. So noble. It just amazes me. Monday, June 18, 2012. I said, " Sometimes I cry at Mass.". Sunday, June 3, 2012.

From a Boy to a Soldier: Reflections of an Army Mom: November 2012

http://reflectionsofanarmymom.blogspot.com/2012_11_01_archive.html

From a Boy to a Soldier: Reflections of an Army Mom. Thursday, November 8, 2012. Faith and fear cannot exist in the same heart and mind at the same time. Why is fear so overwhelming? How does it overtake faith when faith is the good stuff? People say, "He'll be okay. Don't worry." I'm glad they are so sure of that. Since when did they take on the roll of God? Since when are they all knowing? The fact is, he may not be okay. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). Faith and fear cannot exist in the same heart and .

From a Boy to a Soldier: Reflections of an Army Mom: May 2013

http://reflectionsofanarmymom.blogspot.com/2013_05_01_archive.html

From a Boy to a Soldier: Reflections of an Army Mom. Saturday, May 18, 2013. Soldier is back from his first deployment and I am so relieved. I h ave spoken with him only once and won't see him for a while, but at least he seems to be okay. Many things I want to say and talk with him about, but, for the moment, there's time for that. There are blessings to be found in all things and if not for this deployment, we wouldn't have had the wonderful opportunity to get to know our new daughter-in-law, Vanessa.

From a Boy to a Soldier: Reflections of an Army Mom: June 2013

http://reflectionsofanarmymom.blogspot.com/2013_06_01_archive.html

From a Boy to a Soldier: Reflections of an Army Mom. Friday, June 7, 2013. I’ve been thinking about this blog a lot lately, and how it’s less about a boy to a soldier than it is a boy’s mom to a soldier’s mom. The greatest transition has been over deployment and these few weeks of redeployment. During these three weeks I’ve noticed that my son is aloof and unapproachable where I am concerned. Whatever it is, it has broken my heart. My position has been phased out. My services are no longer necessary.
