Oh dear Jen. Well I suppose your son will learn it is not so exciting once there. I do understand your concern, I was worried sick when Travis was over there, and not too pleased to find out my Colin is being deployed as well. Honestly I wanted to shake him when he said how thrilled he was to go! There was something on the Canadian news this evening about Canada's commitment to Afghanistan, the Prime Minister was speaking, but truthfully I couldn't bear to watch it. As Evie said, I wish the best for your son (and mine). I suppose we have to let them live their own lives and make their own decisions. However, as we both know what the consequences of going OS can be, it is difficult to let go, isn't it?
