Private Peter, this one goes out to you!

In just a couple hours my cousin Peter ships out of the Berkshires to spend a year + in Afghanistan. It has been really hard on our family to accept this fact, although we knew it was inevitable. But even though we all wish we could smuggle him into Canada so that he doesn't have to go, we know that he is tied into this mission.

So this post is a shout out to my cousin Peter, a really great kid, with lots of heart and so much to offer. We can not wait until he is back home safe and sound, but until then, there are a bunch of us who will be vibing health, safety and love in his direction.

Pete, we all love you! Be safe and be smart and know that you have an army of people back home who love you and can't wait to see your smiling face again soon!
