Rob you are and always will be my friend and I will never forget you.
~~A Prayer For A Soldiers Family~~
As the seconds turn into minutes
As the minutes turn into hours
As the hours turn into days
As the days turn into nights
As the nights turn into weeks
As weeks seem to have turned into months
Somewhere close, or somewhere in the far distance
There is a family waiting patiently for that soldiers
journey home.
It's never easy letting go of the ones you love
We send our brothers, sisters,sons, daughters, nieces,
nephews, mothers, fathers, grandsons, granddaughters,
cousins, neighbors, family and friends to place called
Iraq As they defend our country, even our backyards in
hopes that our nation will one day be a better place
for ALL.
As our tearfilled eyes begin to swell up, we find
ourselves
Waving them goodbye, with the bittersweet sadness in
our hearts, we pray for those soldiers safe returns to
our arms.
I know you're sad, I know you're feeling that life
isn't fair. I know whats it like to have someone out
there.
Don't cry for he is there with you in your heart.
Don't give up faith,
Don't give up hope,
Don't get lost within yourself.
Don't for one single second forget that a whole nation
is waiting for his return
Don't for one single second forget that we admire his
bravery, his courage, and his respect.
Don't for one single second forget that I am praying,
As well as millions of others.
They talk about what Canadians want , they say they ask Canadians and they say we should leave. The last time I checked Canadians are the ones serving over there. Rob believed in this mission as well as everyone else who has passed on, to leave now would only tarnish what they died for. A long time ago a politian was asked who was Canada's greastest amabasador , and his response was the soldiers who leave their homes and families to help those they don't even know and stand in harms way. They represent what makes this country so great.
