My son is home.

  Last weekend my son got home from Afganistan.  I'm so proud of him but I'm relieved to have him home.  The end of next month my daughter & her family will be home for a few days on leave from Okinawa.  They will be transitioning to an Air base in Italy.  My son in Arizona & his wife will be here at the same time.  If the son that just got home can get a couple days leave to be here, it will be the first time in 12 years that all my kids will be together.  I've already warned them that I'm going to wear my camera out.  lol   Just wanted to share this wonderful news with all my friends on here.

  I hope this will go through this time.  I've tried for 2 days to post this & it turns out blank.

that's wonderful Nancy. I hope your son can be there next month. It's not that often that my brothers and I are together at the same time.

I hope you do get all your kids home next month!

That is great news. I hope it works out for all your children to be together. It is so difficult when they leave the nest and are scattered all over the country or in your case the world.
Anita R. May 28, 2008, 8:51am UTC
Nancy, my son was in Dessert Storm - I understand your feelings of relief. I wanted to congratulate you on raising such a patriotic family - it is difficult for all involved, and I'm sure you have worried with every bone in your body, but my thanks go out to you, your son and your daughter for serving our Country in a day and age when it is not very fashionable!!!! -- Please give them a hug from me.
Nancy S. May 28, 2008, 9:36am UTC
Thank you Anita. That was so sweet.

That is the best news that I have heard in days! I think you should have back up memory cards or film for that camera!
