Three weeks from today, my son will be home.

[Ptah]

He's twenty-five now, and I hope a little wiser.

Sleeping in his bed, in his room, with no fences keeping him in.



I want him to be careful out there



He's been gone for more than five years.

Come Home - Mavis Staples

I feel like a ski jumper getting ready to go. Or maybe a parachutist, letting go of the strut.

:scared:




I'll tell him: Ask your mom for fifty cents

1. My dear Ptah...

I hope he will have some sort of support system (besides you, of course!) to help him adjust...

It's a huge change...

Good vibes to all of you, sweetie...

:hug:

3. Besides me he has a mother, three sisters, two brothers,

three aunts, three uncles, one grandmother, one grandfather, five cousins
pulling for him.

Thanks, neighbor :hug: :hug:

5. Oh Ptah...how happy I am to hear the day you've been waiting for is

finally almost upon us. Whenever I see those pictures it breaks my heart...because they are always our babies. May his homecoming be sweet, and may there only be much joy, and no more pain, in your futures.

[Ptah]

7. Thank you

I wish him, you, and your entire family the best. :hug:
