Dear Soldier Boy:
Thanks for coming to get a massage from me while you were here on leave from Iraq. It was so cool you you could be home on Memorial Day weekend and your mother's birthday.
I know we didn't talk much, a little casual conversation as we began, and then you got relaxed and quiet. But really, you didn't need to tell me your story, it was stored in your body and communicated without words.
No, son, put your wallet away. Your money is no good here today. Here's the deal...you take care of my body and I'll take care of yours.
Wishing you safe passage, with all my heart, until you return,
your massage therapist

Damn! You're good! So many of my own Mother's b-days I've missed...because I was away...at sea...
I have tears in my eyes, that was from your heart.
WONDERFUL
You are a lovely, loving person.
"..you take care of my body and I'll take care of yours" - what a sentence, a key sentence!!

his story being stored in his body - profound statement and well put - this had me catch my breath - so true so true....
thanks hope he returns soon for another massage and stays (as in out of harms way)this time.....
Yup, tears comes to my eyes as I read this one. Wish everyone treated the military in such a special way. They are willing to give up their lives to protect us and it is just a little thing we can do for them.
God bless you.
those duckling are adorable!
yes, I do believe in miracles!
