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’.
Thank you for your comment, Paula!
Yes, 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!!
