Nephew 2 started off on his first big adventure of his life today. We went to the airport with him this morning to see him off to Houston. He trains there for a week and then goes to Iraq to work as a firefighter for a year. He has never been away from home, never flown, never even been in an airport. He is a firefighter and has saved the lives of a couple people. But, for him, this is huge. Look at him, you'd never know it. Why do we teach our boys to be unemotional? I know he was both excited and nervous about everything new that he will encounter in the next couple weeks. Nephew 3 and his Mom cried all the way home. Say a prayer for the boy when you read this?
