I've heard people say, "silence is golden" - most often from parents who have small - LOUD - children. This parents perspective, however, is that silence is a little unnerving. It has been 5 days since we have heard from Kyle. The last word (or NEXT to last word) was that he would be heading for Iraq in late September or early October. The next morning - Thursday last - we received a message on Facebook informing us that he could not tell us where he was going, but that he was in deed going and would call us as soon as he was able. As yet, not a word.
In the mean time, we pray and wait. As soon as we get some word, we will bring you more. It is probably good that he is out of Kuwait. Kyle was telling us that, in the boring times in the tent, he and the other soldiers would snack on "Chips Ahoy". This combined with 24hr Starbucks is not exactly a recipe for health. So much for that "Soldiers Creed" part about keeping fit ... blah ... blah. They were in Kuwait for 2 weeks which was all it took to turn finely tuned warriors into Junk-food junkies.
Oh yeah, Kyle did give us an address to which we/you can mail items. If you are a friend or family member, then you know how to reach us directly. We will give you that information. More to come ...
