Today a real flight time was published for the group James is traveling home with !!!! That means we are in the 72 hour window! This feels so unreal to me. I feel like crying and laughing all at the same time. I cant wait to feel his arms around me and see the look on his face and the kids face the first time he gets to hold them! Its amazing to me all the emotions I feel. I have been checking the web-site with an obsessive frequency in the last few days and today when I saw his group listed I wanted to jump around and scream!! I know that I have been grinning from ear to ear ever since then! Tonight I was holding Paige and looking in her eyes and I am so grateful that I am not the one who has had to miss the last fifteen months of watching my babies grow! I am so glad that James has the strength to do things that most cant even imagine.
James dad and step-mom are here and they have been helping me with a few last minute touches. It has been good to have them here to keep me grounded. The sad part is that he is going to miss them by a day! At least the kids have gotten to see them..
So today I am going to bed with prayers of thanks that my soldier(my heart) is on its way home and prayers of peace for those that aren't as fortunate...
