What Can I Do?
The next day Brat Boy moved into the dorms. I knew I was going to miss him.
Missing my children always reminded me of all the parents
with sons and daughters serving overseas. How much did you miss a child
stationed in Afghanistan?
Over the years I’d worked with Greenbriar and the Meadville
Medical Center to provide trainings benefiting Operation Troop Appreciation, an
organization that supported active duty troops.
The trainings mainly helped the people serving, but I liked
to think their families found some comfort in our efforts. I hadn’t served in the military, and thought
it was the least I could do.
I wondered if there weren’t other small ways I could help
somebody.
Today I’ll do what I can for somebody.
