Cuba..

Banana Rats and Iguanas..Prisoners of War..and my friend Ty. It's been looking for a few months..and it's been a rocky road..weekends here have been spent hosting his wife (and my dear friend) Elise and their kids..with the yearning for just one more conversation before he was shipped off for a year. Ty left yesterday..and as of last Saturday, he seemed in good spirits..The year to come will be difficult for Elise and I can't express how much I care for her and want to be there for her.

Please keep all the troops in your thoughts and prayers..they need it as much as possible.
