oh and...

then i cried.
and then yesterday i cried some more.
and then today i cried some more.

but, today i did learn that Brandon made the first leg of his trip, to England with no problem and was able to contact Erin (his wife), he was tired, and would leave "tonight" England time - which I am sure he is in the air as we speak to his final destination. we wait in angst to hear from him again.

may God bless and keep him and his fellow officers and calm his family here. worry is of satan, peace is of God. May the Peace of God surpass all of our understanding or in this case all that we DO NOT UNDERSTAND!
