Genesis 12:6 God has made me to laugh, so that all that hear will laugh with me.

Today is Fast Sunday so the kids and I were fasting for your deployment coming up in a month.  I was trying to explain to you why you were going to Ben 6.  “So what do the people, who got hurt, need?”  You shrugged.  I suggested, “A doctor?” and you agreed with a. . .”yeah, and ice.” 

I was asking around the table what we should do that lasts days or weeks to help us not miss you as much with suggestions like visiting Nana. . . camping at the beach and such. Your suggestion was an adamant PLAY RISK!  SO . . .we are going to play Risk while you go to Afghanistan and give the soldiers ice. :)  We can do this.  6 more weeks, we say see you later.  Easy as a long board game. Sometimes you wanna poke your eyes out but when it ends, it's very satisfying.
