Just a mom today missing my boy….he’s now been gone for just over 21 months.  People ask me all the time how long he’s been gone, or when he’ll be home….and that is always followed by “Really..wow it’s going by so quickly”.  Maybe it’s going by quickly to them, but to this mom it’s not.  I asked John one day when we were driving, “Do you miss him so much you can’t breathe sometimes”.  He just shook his head and let me know that he can still breathe.  I know the time is passing and he will be home soon…in fact he’ll be home in 85 days.  But, I was feeling a little lonesome today and found these pictures that were taken  before he left….they tell the story.  2 years is a very long time look how much they’ve grown……….
