Got to talk to Tay when Dusty had his leave I told him when to call if he could and he did It was great to hear his voice and it meant the world to Dusty to talk to hs baby brother. It was so good for them not to say there werent a lot of emotions running around in their heads and in their hearts. Of course we also dont say good bye to each other its always on 3 or talk to ya later, always I love you , but Dusty ended his talk with Tay by telling him dont worry I will be there soon I love you little man. I will let you talk to Mom now. He had big tears and I know tay did too and actually if you can imagine it so did I . The he ran out in the hall shouting hey my baby brother just called from Baghdad!!! It was just priceless.
I found out some details concerning Tay Tays jobs over there I wont go into a lot of details. I actually knew quite a bit some time ago. But the Rear D sent out a newsletter and were very specific which had Tay really pretty upset becasue he said he wasnt the only one who didnt disclose all of their duties to their loved ones back home. So he also called his Dad and gave him a little more detail and being his Dad he told my daughter. I wish he hadnt becasue now I can hear the fear in her voice that has been in my heart. Its war and its all dangerous. Being in supply doesnt remove you from the dangers and in this war being in supply is more than a little hazardous. Not unlike the other duties over there. I feel like there is too much info out there with the media and newlettters and all... sometimes I think it would be a little easier if we didnt have so much knowledge of the day to day details I dont watch the news much anymore. You can turn the tv off or turn the channel but its everywhere its on the internet, its in the newstands its on newsletters...But its hard to walk past a newstand and not see on the front page that troops from your sons base have lost their lives. It does make it harder to cowboy up some days..Sometimes too much knowlege is just not a good thing. I like to stay informed but its too much some days.
So anyway He has been there 3 months and he is fine. I know he is well trained and a damn good soldier & not a risk taker so I just look forward to the day when they are both home safe. It will happen it just takes a while to get there, but it will happen.
