It's the little things

Today, I got some dreadful news, a friend of mine who's husband is deployed, he husband's unit lost 4 men. And as I got that news, I sat here going thru my mail from the mailbox. As I pondered how devastated those receiving the bad news would be and here I am sitting her helpless unable to provide any other words of comfort to my friend other than no news is good news and that I hoped she'd hear from her husband soon, I got the sweetest letter.
     It was from a young pilot stationed in Iraq whom I'd sent a Christmas card over the holidays. He was so thrilled to hear from someone at home. So, if all you hear in the media is wirds of hate, please remember that those over there fighting for us still need our support. As do the families of those that have paid the ulimate price.
