movers and shippers

he's home! got in four hours early even! it hurt so bad not being there to grab him and hold him. but it will work out this way. he has one more day of demobe, all went smoothly, he gives thanks and praises to all that made it that way. to be able to just pick up the phone, dial his number, hear that velvet smooth sound wrap around my ear... the tickets are bought, the shippers come next friday, m's birthday! today is day 21. i got twenty one more days to go. then me and the cats are on the big bird that will carry us home to his waiting arms! poor babe... he has a lot of healing to do, out of the blue he mentioned watching them loading caskets when he went to germany for leave, that no one but him was saluting... i'll hold him and listen to his stories over and over. just like i did with my dear daddy... we will make a scrapbook... we will go through it all together, one little grain of sand at a time. you may heal from war but the scars remain forever...
