Just consider this a trial run for your kids' eventual relocation and deployment. We haven't seen our daughter since last year Christmas, and there's no quarantee she'll be home for this Christmas. Hawaii is a long way from Wisconsin, and travel is expensive, leave time precious.

I won't see my daughter until Christmas either. She will stay with friends of the family over Thanksgiving break though and seems excited about that. But I did get to see her at parent's weekend in Oct. 4 months is a long time for her not to be able to come home...but then again, SHE is the one who chose to go to school in CA...very far from IL! Oh well, that will just make it more exciting when she does come home!

Enjoy your time with your kids at Thanksgiving. We don't get to see our daughter until Christmas, but she is going to spend time with some family who have offered to pick her up and take her back to school. But I'm very depressed.

Glad to hear everyone made it home safe from Canada. Thanks for the kind words. We will continue to keep your family in our prayers and will hope for the best!

Me, too. Centhea. She'll be home at noon Friday and won't have to return to Mizzou until the afternoon of the 28th. We're planning on just "chilling'" and letting her decompress from all the pressure she's been under. She's really looking forward to a break from the early morning PT and some home cooking. I apologize to all the Moms who aren't as blessed as we are and who won't be seeing their Mids until Christmas. I'll say a prayer for you as I enjoy my time with Sarah.

I'm getting excited to see my Mid for Thanksgiving! We are driving down to Orlando and he is flying down to meet us. I am following the advice of the university's parents association so we will just relax and give him time to rest and get ready for the last few weeks of school and finals.

Anyone else getting excited for the holiday? I can't believe it's next week.

Helomom sorry for your loss:( and I will include your son in our prayers. Who knows? my son may be flying one of those in a few short years...

That's a handsome young man, Laura! It's no wonder that you are so proud of him. We just flew back from Canada last night. The family is doing well through everything. Thank you for your condolences. We are still hopeful that Jim will be able to join us in BC in February. He's out on the boat for a while and may know something closer to the holidays when he returns. In the mean time we just wait.
