Hugged my little brother tonight for the last time in a long time. Not an unusual event since we live so far way from family. However, tonight was different. Why? Because he's not just going back to his home, he's headed to the Middle East soon. My brother is a United States Marine. Lots of tears. From everyone. He has a fiance and 21 immediate family members praying for his personal safety and well-being. Not to mention Grandma and aunts and uncles.
We love him so much. I pray that he prays. I pray that he prays for help. I pray that he prays for direction and guidance. I told him today in a letter to be safe, be good, work hard, and pray harder. Heavenly Father loves his children. He wants them to be happy. He wants them to ask for help so he can help them with all his power.
Love my little brother. Praying for him and all our military--constantly! They are the ones protecting others and keeping us free.
