- A Soldier's Mother
This is not the post I plan to write, thanking those of you who are praying for Elie and taking so much time to write to me and give me support. The mothers of American soldiers in Iraq whose sons are there are writing to me and I am humbled. My son is at war now for a week, yours have been there for months. I complain because I haven't talked to him for a few days, how often do you get to hear your son's voice? The former soldiers (is there such a thing?) from the American army and from the Israeli army, you are proof that soldiers go to war...and come home...and you write to tell me to trust in Elie's training, to believe, and have faith.
