154 Days

That is how long it has been since we said our goodbyes.
We miss him so much.

E sent an email to Matt (as his mom I have permission to read everything he writes and obviously share it with anyone I deem appropriate) that said this "you know how it feels when you leave the house and feel like you forgot something?  That's how it feels when you are gone".
For a tween boy, he did a pretty good job of summing up how we feel.  Unsettled, slightly off, missing something...someone.

Tomorrow marks 5 months of being gone and 19 years of active duty service in the United States Army.

So proud of his strength and courage during this deployment and his career.  He does his job well, he is a fabulous leader, and an incredible asset to his unit, the Army, and the USA.

Thanks Matt for being part of the .5% willing to serve your country!!
