We had a really hard time letting our son go when we moved to Idaho Falls. I understood that he wanted to stay in Poky and graduate high school with all of his friends. I was so very sad and missed him so
very much. When he was there though we new he was safe, happy and taken care of. Benjamin is in Georgia at boot camp now he is doing great but it tears me apart not being able to talk to him on the phone we got to talk to him last weekend and it was wonderful it just made us miss him all the more. Now when he gets home in December he will be here for 1 month then he is off to Alaska for 3 months. After that he is being sent to
Afghanistan for 14 months. It makes me wonder how the heck I am going to deal with my son so far from home. I know that he is now married and has a beautiful little girl, that just makes it harder for me knowing we will get to see his daughter grow and learn and he won't. I understand that it is what he has to do but it doesn't mean I can't want to hug him everyday. Well that is all I can tell you about Ben. I put a pic of him in uniform and one with a bald head. And one of Brynlee with her grandpa. Love ya all. The Dahls
