How amazing that you have raised a man that has a heart to serve and help. I pray the father will watch over him and give him comfort through the things he is about to witness. I can't imagine how you feel about seeing him go, but even through all the worry and fear, you should still be so proud!! Does he have a group he is going with or is he just going to drive down and take a dive and see what he finds. I assume he would be safer in a group. I pray the father will give your family some peace of mind as well.
