I&#39;m sorry she&#39;ll just miss Christmas. Maybe you can do like we do for Thanksgiving and hold it when it works best for her.<br /><br />I remember the aching anticipation when my brother was coming home from the Gulf War. And how it took so long to find him that ridiculously small airport in Honolulu that I walked around blubbering until I finally saw him. And probably after that, too. Wishing you and yours many happy tears for this Christmas.Shanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12434884811193988493noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6834283132478385606.post-54593639303108195482011-12-15T23:26:41.354-06:002011-12-15T23:26:41.354-06:00Oh I wish she could be home sooner!

I am looking forward to hearing of her safe arrival. I&#39;ll bet she&#39;ll spends lots of time giggling and cuddling with her neice and nephews. <br /><br />Please tell her how grateful I for her service, and relay how proud we are of her and her fellow troops.<br /><br />In the meantime, start perfecting your white russian. <br /><br />Thinking of you!<br />MMMariehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03213336255967614360noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6834283132478385606.post-71470179478188065882011-12-15T13:45:18.479-06:002011-12-15T13:45:18.479-06:00I can&#39;t even imagine.
