The Army - a poem by Christy Price
When my kids were little my nephew Scott was a constant at our house. He is only 10 years younger than me and always felt more like a little brother than a nephew. Anyway, somewhere around 1989 or 1990 (Scott you should comment and let us know for sure) he joined the Army. I’m not sure I ever knew this but Christy wrote a poem for him before he left. He has held onto it all these years and shared it with me today. I thought I would share it with all of you, I hope you can see it well enough to read it. I wanted to share it as it was, since it was in her own handwriting. It made me smile!
Missing my girl,

So great. Thanks for sharing this.
It was 1990. I left for basic in February of that year. The funny thing is that Christy asked me if I liked the poem one letter sooner than Julie sent it, Julie apparently included it one letter later. I also have a letter that Christy wrote me, I will have to pass that on as well. Needless to say that when I came across these items recently, there were tears.
That note is adorable. I know you were so glad he saved it all those years to share with you now.
Thanks for praying for me and my family. My heart hurts in ways I didn't even know it could. I can hardly breathe sometimes. I know you know my pain, yours is probably even deeper. I love you.
