As the mother of two young military sons, my heart goes out to you. I am so sorry for your loss and I sympathize with you for the loss of your son. May God bring your heart and family strength for you to be able to endure this tragedy and to be able to deal with it day by day. Just know that some days will be better than others and you have to deal with it in your own way. Some may try to rush the grieving process but that can't happen. Always remember the good things about your son and I am praying for you and yours.

When we honestly ask ourselves which person in our lives means the most to us, we often find that it is those who, instead of giving much advice, solutions or cures, have chosen rather to share our pain and touch our wounds with a gentle and tender hand. The friend who can be silent with us in a moment of despair or confusion, who can stay with us in an hour of grief or bereavement, who can tolerate not knowing, not curing, not healing, and face us with the reality of our powerlessness, that is a friend who cares Lean on him for strength and love that friend is Jesus! Love you always big sis!
