Art by Nancy Maxwell James

{Deployment Day}

October 25, 2007

Today is Deployment day. This date has changed three times in the last week. I tied my yellow ribbon outside and have my service flag hanging. Today I will wear my “I Love My Soldier” pin and try not to cry at work.

Andrew will be flying out this evening – most likely stopping in Germany before the plane heads to Kuwait. I hope to have one last phone call with him today before we can talk again.
No address at this time so I just have to keep the faith.

Thank you to all you wonderful ladies who have wrapped your arms around us with love, support and care. I honestly do not know how I will get through this – but remind myself I am not alone. Bless you!!!

Godspeed Andrew!

About Sugar Lump Studios

I am a dabbler. I love to create using all sorts of mediums...pattern papers, stamping, fabric, assemblage, collage, altered art, a never ending smattering of whatever strikes my fancy in whimsical moments. I find creating allows my soul to be fulfilled and love to spend hours in the studio.

    Nancy, time to go back and reall all the prayers and wishes extended on the "For Nancy" site, I think. Praying for you and your son, your family.
