Doc Miracle

Hello everyone-

As some of you know, RJ was recently in a terrible blast. 2 actually. One in which it was a miracle that he made it through. God certainly has other plans for him. I can't go into the details of it but he's fine and despite the horrific-ness of it all, is in ok spirits. A truly amazing man, he is. Doc Miracle as I prefer to call him now.

The 2nd blast was that of a mine. One built into the road that his Humvee drove over. The type of mine that people just don't make it through. Yet he did. With flying colors too. He said he had pictures of it although he said he wasn't sure I would want to see them...that they were pretty bad. So I don't know if I'll get to or not. Or if I even want to.

My thoughts and prayers are with those that were severly injured in that 2nd blast and on their way home, hopefully, to recover.

I hear most of you are hearing from your loved ones. Many are sounding just fine. I know that the call I got from RJ was very emotional, for both of us. If I could capture that call and share it with those that are not in the military world they might get a better appreciation for what our troops are going through...for us. They might get a tiny sense of the heartache of war and what it does not only to the troops, but to the families. It's hard to hear but it's so important to be there for them. They need us. We need them.
