My youngest son, Birdie, should now be back in Afghanistan. I’ve cleaned up his web page in anticipation of having new info to post there. Much will be posted at his sweet bride’s site, I’m sure. She is here with us, about to give birth to a darling granddaughter for me.
I may have time to spoil her before Daddy gets home.
Hoping for the best on both counts….

Thanks, Wallace. This deployment has me a bit down. The others didn’t. Wonder why that is. Couldn’t be the new baby on the way…

Bunker – We’ll keep Birdie tops in our thoughts, along with his wife and the coming granddaughter. I think you’ll have just enough time to spoil her rotten, as a good granddad should 🙂

Congrats on the forthcoming grandchild. It is easy to understand why you would be down a bit with your son being deployed when the baby comes. Having been deployed (in the first Gulf War) when my second son was born, it is challenging, and for a loving parent/grandparent it would be hard to see your son away while such a new joy and wonder is brought into the world.

Thanks to all for your thoughts.

I got the chance to talk to him today. He hasn’t quite made it in country yet, but should be there sometime later this week. He did sound like he was doing well though. It was great to hear from him.
