The Sleeping Hearts Among Us

No word for quite some time on re-entry.  This makes a military mother nervous.  Anything can happen during this critical time.  No communication for several days makes a mother nervous. I may have to say it one more time in order for those around me to understand.  I'm nervous.  How do you relay this feeling of helplessness to people who couldn't possibly understand what it is like to have these feelings about their child because their kids will never face that situation.  An ugly altercation this week with one of the clueless among us who wouldn't understand or is even capable of an empathetic thought about a military family even though they live in a military community brought home to me how foreign it is to be in the 1% of military families who have a loved one in a war zone.  If you live or work near a military base and particularly if you actually do business with military personnel shake yourself awake and have the common decency to ask them how they are and thank them for their service.  If you are somehow remotely connected to a military mom, dad or grandparent ASK THEM..... HOW ARE YOU?  Enough for today.  Did I mention that I'm nervous?
