A Goodbye, and a Welcome Home

Many of you know that GP's dad has been in declining health for some time. Saturday night (almost two weeks exactly since we were married) he passed from his earthly home to his one in Heaven. He was a sweet and jovial man and will be missed dearly by his many friends and family. I was blessed to be a part of his life for the last few years and so happy that he was able to be a pary of our wedding day. Love you Poppy


Joe's unit was already scheduled to return from Iraq this week but were to be in de-briefing for two more weeks in Texas. They were able to intercept him in Kuwait and divert him home to be with his family. We joined his plane in Greensboro this morning. Its gives us all a peace to have him home.

Sorry to hear about GPs father. I am so happy he got to share in your special day. The pictures of him and the two of you will be even more special, now that he is not with you.
