Karen, this is beautiful, and also shows that the love of a parent to care for their child is an unending chapter of our lives as a parent...
the lives here at home on edge, unable to rest until like you bless him with this beautiful poem "Keeping vigil, a family promises,
until the day their son comes home."
he still is "Together nurtured....."
Peace & Blessings

It is both a proud and painful moment when "care and control" gives way to letting go and enabling them to fly. But it is what we as parents are always aspiring to. And nothing more fulfilling than witnessing a job well done. This is a fine family portrait and tribute, Karen. God bless them all! :)) xx

Karen as always you capture the way love and family should be and offer it up to us in a life's history that paralells so many of our own memories of either our lives or our children's lifes. You give them memories heart and you make us pray that this young man will be loved and safe until he returns....
