I have two sons in the military. I am so proud of both of them. I am also so scared while they are serving. One is in the Army, and one is in the Air Force. This has to be the hardest thing I have ever went through. I miss them so much and at times I cry myself to sleep. I know they are doing what they wanted to do in their life. I am sure people will think I am selfish for wanting them both home, but I can't help how I feel. I worry so much about them on a daily basis. When I went to each of their graduations, I was so proud of the men before me. I will always be a scared mother and that will never change. I know they will have a bright future and they both will have me by their side encouraging them all the way. I AM A PROUD MOM OF A SOLDIER AND A AIRMAN.
