I am saying a prayer of thanksgiving for his safe return, and asking for the safe return of all our people. Please thank him for his service to our country.

Thanks, everyone. He actually is NOT coming here to Massachusetts for any part of his leave. I was pissed at first, but that's why we planned to go out to CA for Thanksgiving. My older son and his girlfriend are coming, too. It's good that he is using this time to travel. When he was younger, he stayed very close to home and was always too wrapped up in racing or studying. I am glad he wants to travel now. But, the biggest change is that is now he actually is talking about "when he gets out" and going back to school. It's been hard for me to keep my mouth shut about the whole school thing (I guess I will always be a teacher inside), but my strategy seems to have worked. Only 3.5 years to go!

So glad he's on his way home soon! Wonderful!! Happy reunion to you all. Please thank him for his service, and thank you for your sacrifice. I know how hard it is to have someone you love deploy. God bless.
