My son is going to Iraq

[sandra]

I meant to ask, when is he going? Do you know where he will train before he goes? (I'm wondering if he will be here in Mississippi at Camp Shelby).

He doesn't have an exact date; it will be in March. I think the base you are referring to is an Army base, he's in the Marines, at Camp Pendleton.

Thinking good thoughts for your son's safe return!

My thoughts are with you and yours. Please send Scott a thank-you for serving in our military. I appreciate all that he is doing for us. Thank-you Robyn and others with family members who may be deployed for all the amazing support you provide for your soldier(s).

I am amazed by the kind words of everyone. We are doing fine; we try to be very pragmatic about the life Scott has chosen. He has always been the "outlier" in our family, but he is smart and funny as h***. The dedication he showed while racing is now being shown in his career. Of course, being the Jewish mother I am, I just want him to finish college...

I am going to the local support group next Tuesday night.
