I'll be home for Christmas
December 21, 2002
Yesterday I was sitting in the living room with Emerald, just finished with a Barney tape. He came in and shouted "Daddy's home!" I jumped up and gave him a big hug. It was like a dream.Mom knew for the last ten days, but she was afraid that the army would take him back at the last minute. She concocted an elaborate story about Aunt Maria to throw us off. I started crying. It was just too much. I couldn't post yesterday because I wanted my brothers at college to be just as surprised.
It's so wonderful, and his deployment is over. It's a Christmas miracle.
