In contrast to how happy G-string and I are that we got to hear G's voice in the form of a shitty phone connection last night, we received this email moments ago about another young man in G's Brigade who's parents will not have the same luxury ever again. I have removed details specific to their troop and location just because it seems like I should.

What happened to the other soldier?
How was little Gordy doing?
Hi Jamie... we have no idea what happened to the other young man. This email is all we know.
Gordy sounded good, tired, but good. He had been on a three-day mission and only had 2 hours of sleep. He laughed while we talked.
bless you guys you're in our prayers constantly....keep your eyes focused on the prize: Gordy's return. love ya. C
So glad that Gordy was able to get thru to you!! Yes, keep focused on the prize of G Jr. coming home. And somehow that this whole madness gets settled soon.
we won't rest easy until Gordy's safe return. until all safely return. until then, in our prayers.
:) thank you for your encouraging words... and love you tooo!
i think the answer to your question is 'too many'.
