He’s coming home

Of anything I could ever post here on my blog, this is the most important.

My brother has left Afghanistan and is COMING HOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I begged, pleaded, prayed, talked to, bargained with, begged some more and prayed even more for this day to come. Let him come home safe & alive..The universe listened and we are ever so grateful.

Welcome home Bro!!!

Now go out there and have a drink on our behalf and let’s get the other brothers, sons, daughters, husbands, wives, fathers, mothers, uncles, cousins, neighbors, co-workers home!!!!!!

    So happy for you that your brother has left Afghnistan, Lynne – in one oiece and is coming home. It seems nearly half will need follow-up treatment for trauma and injuries. A conflict with no winners.
