Holy Cow,, a month go tomorrow Steven left for Afghanistan,, I just can't believe how long it has been already. I guess being able to be in contact with him really helps, I'm still worried, I still have slight panic attacks when I see something in the news, but I know he's safe and he's doing good. He is handling his job well, and I'm very proud of him.
Our family has been through a lot in this month, his Grandpa has had serious health issues and been treated horrible by the VA. The military has really let the veterans down, I worry about his after-care now. I quit my job to help take care of him, get my head on straight, and deal with my dad's health, my son's deployment, and everything else going on around here.
Hopefully with the wonderful care his grandpa is now getting at Sierra Medical, a civilian hospital in El Paso, he can relax and not worry too much. Visiting with Steven on Skype has really lifted his grandpa's spirits,, and now with Steven's cousin Ricky, the Navy Baby I refer to, home on leave, he has good reason to get better and come home.
