Good to have H home. He's going in the early hours but is such good company and he's treated us to an M & S supper tonight.
Heard from fellow soldier's Mum and she's finding this a very hard time to deal with too. She misses her boy and was also devastated when she accidentally missed a call from him. Christmas is obviously being avoided by swathes of people all over the country, all just wishing it would go away.
More helicopters are finally to be sent to Afghanistan but at the cost of slashing the existing defence budget. RAF home bases are to be closed amongst other measures to fund the war, but surely with the existing threat to our own shores often coming from the sky that just smacks of irresponsible short-termism? Find it all rather depressing really. H concerned about the impact it's going to have on our own security and that worries me as he's not one to exaggerate.
R hopefully enjoying uni and have not heard from C so am relieved for the moment.
Lots of prayers and love to absent friends.
Speak soon. A soldier's Mum x
