Hi Everyone, Wish me luck- I’m waiting for the 1st of many flights that will eventually bring me HOME…should be there in about 2 weeks I may be out of the loop- but I’ll check on everyone’s sitches whenever technologically possible & will keep you posted on my own issues. So nervous… my wife & kids will meet me at the airport when I finally get home-Do I try to hug or kiss my wife?!... I know that I’ll hug both Boys so close they won’t be able to breathe. I’ve prepped the battlefield, I’ve made changes already & feel good about them. I have IC appts sched’d & yoga membership arranged, ski trip planned, scouted out D support groups in my area, checked race schedules ( going to attempt my 1st marathon). My wife told our 2 Boys that I am a changed man….The kids joke around & call me a “hippie vegetarian”…they have noticed that I have more patience now & a more positive/ pay –it-forward attitude. The sad thing is, W can call me a changed man, but not consider a 2nd chance or MC. A combination of what I experienced in Afghanistan -but mostly what the D. bomb caused… My soul has been torn & burnt but I swear that I WILL rise from the ashes as a better man, a better father & with God’s grace and mercy, a better H for my W. Thanks again for the support. You have given me a priceless gift—HOPE Good luck everyone, hang in there P
