entering the sublime

My brother left today 'for good' to Iraq. He's been training in Kansas since Jan, and spent the past 10 days or so back here. He flew back to Kansas for 24 hours, and will be loaded onto a bus (!) to go to DFW to fly to Kuwait, then into Iraq.

His oldest boy, Liam, who's 3 1/3 gave him Little Snoopy at the airport.....little Snoop goes everywhere with Liam, but he wanted Daddy to have him.


I'm not the praying type, but I know many of you here are, so if you dont mind sending some good vibes his way, I know everyone, especially little Snoop, will appreciate it.

The fun thing is that we're all set up w/ skype, so we can IM/chat/video fairly easily...
