Malik's farewell party

Tonight my sister is having a party for my nephew Malik who's off to Afghanistan in a couple of weeks. It's going to be such a worrying time for us all, but he's worked so hard to get to where he is today and is living his dream so we must give him all our support. Please God keep him and all his comrades safe. He'll be gone for 7 months but hopefully it'll pass quickly. I made him a teddy bear mascot to take with him. I wasn't sure he would want to take it but he assures me he will and he'll take some photo's of his bear whenever he can. I'm hoping for one of him with the whole platoon and maybe one on an army vehicle! Here is the teddy and may he keep our boy safe ♥
