God Bless America
The young man on the right is my Godsister Linda’s son, Robert.
Robert was killed in Afghanistan yesterday.
At the age of nineteen.
I recently reconnected with Linda. I know how proud she was of her Robert.
I also know how much worried.
* * * * *
Tonight, a sniffly and sneezy, Vicks vapo rubbed, David fell asleep in my arms. I rocked him back and forth and whispered “I love you” in his ear. Thoughts turned to Linda and Robert; he, her baby, as well. Undoubtedly she held him in her arms sixteen-some-odd years ago, whispering her dreams in his ear, whispering sweetness in his ear. Like only a mother can do.
I pray that Linda holds on to those memories of her sweet, baby boy. I pray she remembers only the good memories. I pray she can heal from the sadness and misery she is feeling right now.
Oh, the pain. Oh, the heartache.
