No Two Days Are Quite the Same
Since I don't get many chances to do this, I'd like to wish my mom a Happy 14th Birthday! :)

In somewhat less celebratory news, my brother-in-law has just been deployed to Afghanistan for (at least) the next six months. While I was already intellectually aware of Canada's role in Afghanistan (and now Prince Harry's, apparently), I'm also aware of the price Canada has paid in fulfilling that role.

I've never been this closely connected to anyone in a war zone, so the possibilities (understandably) give me pause. I'm honestly not sure how I'd react if the worst were to happen.

Yikes. I wish your brother-in-law safety and a swift return home. Interesting about Prince Harry. I was just watching a segment about his tour of duty on BBC last night, and he came off as enjoying his time in Afghanistan and being one of the guys. I guess the British military thinks he could be kidnapped now that it has garnered so much news attention.

How is your mom 14, pray tell?

Right you are. :)

There are a lot of them out there.

The reader will note that I never said she was fourteen years old...
