And every day...
We think of you.
We think of every soldier who has served and sacrificed for our country in all the days before you. And in all the days of you. And in all the days to come.
Marley waits for you. He wants you home.
As we all do.
And until that blessed day comes, well you just keep being you Shawn.
You just keep being you.
I love you,
Mom
What a fine young man he is. You have done a great job raising him. I pray he will be home soon for his wedding.

Oh Kim, how sweet. I'm sure that son of yours will leave more than footprints in the desert sand. Looks like he's having quite an impact on the local children there. He has his Mama's heart, I can just tell. Prayers for all of you.

a mothers love reaches across seas, continents, whereever their loved sons are and on the way, it encounters Gods love for Shawn, as all Fathers love their sons. Together, you two are an awesome forcefield around Shawn.
Love you dearly, Susan
