Dear Son and brave
Marine,
Never think for a
minute or doubt to any degree that you were totally alone; you were always with
me. I love that you now feel free as a
flying dove and that you have always known of my unconditional love.
Make no mistake
though and know that this is true, whatever your task has been your country has
done too. Every deed you have done is on our shoulders as well; I have
personally been right with you there in hell.
You have only done what has been asked of you. You
were called by your country tried and true.
Mind over matter and all that you taught; for this great country of ours
you bravely fought.
You did as you were
told so brave and bold. I know in your heart of hearts you wished that it not
be so. But, you fought as you were
taught son with a heart full of courage going forth for this great country of
ours. You bravely went forth putting
your life and future on the line fighting for freedom for yours and mine.
It wasn’t just you in
that midnight hour; it was all of us in this great country of ours. Through you doing those things you had rather
not; affording us the freedom for which you have fought. So I know that you are forgiven and we are
too because your country and its people called you. So as your heart was ordained and as our
great country called, God anointed and you surged forth bravely as you were
appointed.
I will try to dry my
tears for I am exhausted with the pain and anguish of your heavenly
ascension. I will try to calm all the
silent screams that cause my body so much tension. I will look for the Sonshine light in the
midnight hour. I know through your love
and God’s we will all be delivered with His mighty love and power.
Thank you son for all
you have done some of which we know and a lot of which we do not. But thank you for our freedom in the country
for which you have fought. You have
given it all you’ve got.
To My son, Ssgt.

I love you son, Mom
