marching orders

the word is out. J1 enlists into the military in february. in three short months, before the snow melts and before the leaves return.

i know a little of how a very ill patient feels now, who gets a reprieve. this half year is our reprieve from the farewells we should have said in july. this way we get another autumn another birthday another thanksgiving another christmas. so in truth it is not three short months but an unexpected and undeserved gift. 

the LORD watches over all who love him,  -  psalm 14:20.
