Roni Sue's blog: "My daughter is going to Iraq!"

Today I remember those who lost their live to the horrible events from the hands of the evil. I sit here with tear running down my cheeks. First I grieve for those lost and second I pray for those serving. As a mother of a young woman who is serving today my heart aches. The mixed emotions Im feeling today are those of Extreme pride for her yet fear for her. In my heart I know what she is doing today is what she needs to do as a woman, a soldier and as a AMERICAN! I love her and miss her dearly!

Well, as a mom of a soldier I got the new a week or so ago! Suzanne is heading to the Sand Box.... The mixed emotions are here. Proud, supportive, scared, just to name a few. It will be a long 400 days.... She is my baby girl Yet a Strong and vibrant Woman.. She a SOLDIER! She is doing what she signed up for because she an American Soldier. My 5lb 2 oz baby at birth is doing what many cant/wont, defend our country. Proud? OMG Never been so proud of her.
