Great story, debey, thanks for sharing it with us. I remember all the times that I would return home and seeing my Mom and the tears in her eyes. And when I married my wonderful wife, the looks on her face as I walked toward her in the airports. It's always a good felling to know that you have loved one that miss you.

Thanks Again.
I will never forget taking my son back to the airport, after R & R. or the kiss he "threw" me, from the top of the escalator.

I send my deepest thoughts and prayer to you that are abroad & your families that are still stateside that your Easter was a quiet and peaceful one filled with joy and Happiness. Maybe someday "REAL" soon that all of you will be back home in the arms of those who love you and miss you.
GOD BLESS!
And maybe this will be left up long enough for all of you to read.
