awwwwwwwwww! you certainly touched this mama's heart with your tt!
prayers that he is home, all safe and sound, by the time the next thanksgiving rolls around!
I know you'll miss him, but this was a wonderful tribute to him. Next time you talk to him, tell him I said Thank-you for his service to our country.
Happy TT.
Thanks for taking the time to stop by my blog! You and yours will be in my prayers.
I'm sorry that your son is away from you this holiday season. I will keep a good thought for him that he remains safe and will join you next year.
OMG, that's so cute! I almost started crying when I read this and it made me laugh at the same time! Thanks for that.
We have something in common cuz I miss you son almost as much as you miss him!
