Single Digit Midget

9 days until I leave this desert
43 days since I've seen Sarema and Hunter
90 days since I turned into a double digit midget
217 days since my feet have touched American soil
337 days since I've seen my house and my dogs
435 days - or 14.5 months - since I left civilian life for active duty
Forever is how long it seems like I've been gone

We are counting the days too!! Take care and go slowly--there are alot of things that you haven't done lately--like drive a car! We can't wait to hear that you are sitting on your porch or just back from a nice walk on my favorite beach---Take Care

love, Mom

I'm Mickey's mom and also know your sister. I also have a nephew that had to spend a year + away from his wife and two beautiful children. Thanks to both of you for being brave enough to put your life on hold and spend time protecting our country and our way of life. So glad to hear that you can now come home to your wife, son and the rest of your family.

I'm Joel and I'm a friend of your sister's. God bless you and the other men and women like you who put the lives of the whole before your own to guard against those who promote fear and terror.

If'n you're ever up this way visiting your sister and the Seattle area in general - your first round is on me.
