Help
Our son, who is in the Army and stationed at Fort Lewis, will be able to come home for Christmas. This is my Christmas present this year. The ticket cost a small fortune, but worth every penny.
The Christmas will be very special since DS will be deployed this summer. I don't know if his younger siblings understand where their brother will be next year, but hope they cherish the few days with him.
Please pray that our family has a safe, joyous and loving visit.
PS. For all of the other readers. May you and your families have a good Christmas . Especially those who spend their Christmas apart.

That's so great that he'll get to be home for the Holidays. I was stationed at Ftl Lewis for 6 years. Loved it there.

Congrats Michele! Home for the holidays is a wonderful feeling when you are in the service. I remember it very well. Cherish the time and don't forget to take lots of photos to scrap.

That's terrific news.
Give your DS a hug for us, and please thank him for his Service.
We're a couple hours away, if he has a weekend off before deployment and wants a home cooked meal, give me a shout.

That is will be such a nice Christmas gift! I hope that the snow lets up a bit so he can get out of Seattle. I am right between Seattle and Ft Lewis, it is snowing like crazy today!
Happy holidays to you and your family!
