Family always comes first . Enjoy this time that you get to spend with them , it goes faster than you might think .
Our daughter has been in the A.F. For 10 years now. She's been stationed in Korea, and now the UK for the last few years . Her absents (sp) is most keenly felt this time of year . Both Jan and I are retired A.F. , so we understand . But, it doesn't make it any easier. So, takes lots of pics of your kids, hug them and tell them how much you love them .
Sorry for getting OT! Just had to get that off my chest .
