It was so good to hear from a dear friend today.
But when she told me of Greg, her significant other, that was going to Afghanistan for a year,
I felt so apprehensive and with much dismay.
Somehow didn’t have the heart to let her know about my last blog post and my fear.
We spoke of the dangers there,
But she said it’s something that he had been wanting to do, and wasn’t just a whim.
We discussed that if you really love someone,
Then how could she possibly stop him?
For you see, the rest of the story is that Greg, who is a USDA veterinarian,
Had volunteered to go, for he’s been wanting to give back
To help out the people of Afghanistan,
Which was his basic plan of attack.
Told her we would pray for her Greg,
A shinning example of the best of our personnel.
Felt no sense worrying her anymore over something we couldn’t control,
Thought I’d just leave it to God, for we’d pray for him, and Greg would surely stay well.
Greg, stay safe, and wishing you Godspeed back to the one that loves you!
