  5. He said he is leaving 7/31 PM. Probably take 2 days to get to you. Military flights don't always go to the most convenient airport.

    What memories have been going through your mind as you sit on the edge of your seat? When I look at my son, I see every instant of him from birth til now. I think most good parents do.

  6. Wil, you're right, I overlooked that PM, out of nervousness; but he's 8 hours behind, 14 hour flight, to Atlanta, then to Chicago...probably tomorrow, you're right. Fine, I'll sit here and chew my nails til then.

    You're also right that I reminisce; someone drove by me in his first car a few days ago, and my stomach flipped over. I've been thinking about his second car, an old ford fiesta with a tiny horn that went "meep-meep." He and his friend would don helmets and see how fast they could run over mattresses in that thing.

    Of course, I find these things out 5 years later.

  7. He's a lucky boy -- I mean, soldier -- to have you waiting for him.

  9. Maybe if you stand out on your porch and hollar "Bri-----aaaaan" a few times, like when our kids were small, it will speed thing up a bit *wink*

    I hope he's home soon, before the street lights go on!
