Brian and I have two biological boys. We also have this whole other group of boys. It's a pretty big group. They're "our boys" from over the years of youth mininstry. We love these boys. We only get to be part of their lives for awhile, but they never stop being "our boys". What a gift to us from God and their parents to allow us to share in their lives.
Today, one of "our boys" is a long way away. He's on his first deployment. He's in Afghanistan. This isn't the first of our boys that has deployed, but it affects me just as deeply every time.
We also have another of our boys headed out soon.
We love you, boys. You might have those deep voices and tower over us and look like the strong, handsome soldiers you are, but to us? You're still "our boys".

It's always fun to get comments, but if you post anonymously, I don't know who you are! It would be super if you would leave your name.
