Dad 195
After the American Legion dinner last night I felt better, it was nice to be around people who care about our troops and many of whom understand what so many are going through now! I cannot wait for this to be over and to reach a sense of normalcy if that is possible. You are superman, I love you Zach!

Day 196
Mom – Day 196
I saw Shane today, one of Zach’s best friends. It was so nice to see him. I am always worrying about our boys. He is like Zach, a paratrooper. His last jump was not so successful. I thank God that he can walk. He will have a long recovery.
Shane stopped by the American Legion (he just arrived from Ft Bragg – in his back brace). The Legion put on a dinner and an evening of honor for those men and women who are serving in our armed services. I was so touched by Shane’s strength, by seeing people that care about our loved ones, and by the courage I saw in the room from those who have loved ones serving. It makes me feel good to know that we are not alone.
I love you Zach

Day 197
Mom – Day 197
Today is a hot day. I wonder how Zach is? I often wonder how he is feeling, what he smells, and what he is listening to. Do you ever look up at the moon or the stars in the sky and have the sense that you are sharing that moment with someone? That is what I think about at times. I know Zach is doing something, someplace that he doesn’t want me to worry about – yeah right, how can I not worry. But with that said, Zach is so confident that he gives me strength.
I haven’t really spoken to Zack, but he has left me messages on Facebook about things that don’t really matter. Life is funny, little things that can seem so un-important can mean the world.
I love you Zach

Dad 198
We never know the turns in the road that life has in store for us! Sometimes all we can do is keep our foot on the accelerator. When our foot gets tired we look to friends and family to help! Never forget what you have, never take it for granted for nothing is guaranteed. Zach I know you are out on a mission so please keep your eyes open and senses sharp! I am always trying to be strong and sometimes I can't!!! Maybe there is only one set of footprints in the sand and someone is carrying me! I miss you bud you are superman and I love you so much!
Day 198
Mom – Day 198
Sitting here in my living room in Maine, the sun is shining and I hear the birds in the background. It is so peaceful here. I am so lucky to have that. In short time, Zach will wake up to the birds chirping instead of the mortars going. It is funny what we get use to and sometimes rely on for background noise.
I love you Zach

Day 199
Mom – Day 199
What did I find out today – I found out that I might not have to continue with this blog until day 0. That is right, Zach may have the opportunity to leave Afghanistan a month or so earlier than planned. It is so nice to hear this news. I know that the military changes it mind all of the time but I do hope this piece holds true.
On another note, I wonder why I am having such a hard time dealing with Zach in Afghanistan. I think Zach is the one that helps me deal with my anxiety. I am the mom and I am the one that is supposed to help him and yet he is the one that is helping me. He is the one that is teaching me cope with all of this. Why am I so whimpy? I once watched an interview with a lady whose husband was deployed and two of her sons. How can that lady be so strong?
I love you Zach
