The last few days have been some of the hardest in my life as I spent the last 48 plus hours with my daughter before she left on deployment. I am so very very proud of her and of Company C. They are a very special company. I am going through such a roller coaster of feelings. I am close to a few of the soldiers in her Company as well. Her sisters and I hugged and held her as much as we could before we had to let her go onto the bus that will take her and the rest to their destination. God Bless them for their duties of keeping us safe and for the incredible job they have ahead of them that will help so many Soldiers in Afghanistan. I miss you my beautiful girl!
