Attention!! Attention!! My Son Is Back In The USA
Just got a call from my Son who is on a runway in New Jersey... Their plane had a bomb scare overseas and his flight was way late.....

He is home everyone, he is back home.... :cry: :hug:


He said he never wants to go back.... I can't blame him.....:thumbsdown:


Hopefully, the hair I lost will grow back now..... :shrug:


I know I have thanked everyone a million times, so here is a million and one... Thank you so much for your support, I could of not gotten through this year without you.....


Dogday

14. CONGRATULATIONS!!!!
Tonight you will enjoy the first restful deep sleep in a loooong time.

I never really realize how tense I get when my brother is sent over there until his feet land back on US soil. Suddenly the knots in my shoulders start to relax and my sleep is so much better. I can't imagine what it's like to be the parent though. :hug:

15. Congratulations! I have some idea of how you feel, as our sil
was in the Gulf War and we were nervous wrecks until he got back home. His position was nowhere near as dangerous as this mess.

Give him a hug from all of DU.

Enjoy!

22. Dogday, I'm thrilled for you
Even more than the majority, one more soldier comes home to the loving arms of his family.

This is the way it should be. Hug him extra tight for all of us, okay? :hug:

31. Bless your heart. I know this is just as hard for you
It is such a minefield over there, nothing is really safe... I wish and hope nothing but the best for your son and the holidays to come.... I hate to hear that he will have to go back... It just feels so much better when they are at least on US soil....

34. We think it will be hanging over his head the whole time he is home
he won't show it though. I think, I wish they had waited to tell him.

36. Well done
Dogday, I am presuming that your Son was lost in the quagmire that is Iraq, so congrats on seeing him again. I really do hope that every single other parent of troops in Iraq and Afghanistan get to see their children again. Alas, I feel this is a lost hope :(

Best of luck to you and your son.

Best regards,
Scott.

My son did that last year, so I know kinda how you feel. After a few weeks, news from Iraq will hopefully wear more 'normally' on you.
