He’s Home!

Posted on | May 14, 2010 | 2 Comments

I started this post a couple weeks ago and just never seemed to finish it! Even though it might be “old news” now, it is still top of my mind. Our son arrived home in Orlando on Thursday morning April 22. It had been a little over 7 months since we had seen him. It was great to catch up, see some pictures from his deployment, just hang out and laugh together.  Last Saturday night we went to our favorite German restaurant, The Willow Tree Cafe with friends and family. I felt bad for him though sleep deficient hit him hard that night. Friday night, the four of us went to the ZZ Top concert and had a blast! It was a great visit. He is back on base in Yuma, AZ back to work doing his thing… I missed him instantly. Then a week later I got the best surprise. A beautiful Mother’s Day card and a bouquet of flowers delivered for Mother’s Day. They were just beautiful and really moved me. He has grown up so much these last couple of years. I love the child he was and the young man he has grown up to be.
