He's HOME !!!!!

[Angicrafter]

Just had to pop in and tell you all my son Justin got home this morning !!! He sent me a text msg from Atlanta at 8:40 this morning and again at 8:45 and told me he would be home at 11:15 !!! We had planned on him being home today at 4 pm....needless to say...a quick shower...(grabbed the sign I made) and out the door we went to the airport ! ...His plane got in 15 minutes early...we walked up to the hallway where he came in at...and there he was !!!! I didnt even get to hold up my sign ! LOL But..in true mom style when he got close enough ( and please keep in mind I am 5 ft 1...and he is 6 ft 4 .... I grabbed him and hugged him on my tip toes..lol) and we almost walked out of the airport with me wrapped around his neck ! LOL
So..I am holding my sign in one hand...he is kinda walking with me wrapped around his neck....and some of the people in line for security and some of them heading for security started to applaud !!! I had tears running down my face...when I finally let him go and turned around there were 3 ladies clapping with tears running down their faces...just made me cry more...lol
What a great day !!! We are all together now my daughter just got home from clinicals and we are going to have a nice family evening.
Thank you all for your support recently while I waited to hear from him as to when he was going to get home.
Everyone have a great evening !!!
Luv ya !

Angi - That is fabulous news. I hadn't been on the site much during the last 4 days so I missed all the anxiety that you had shared. I am so happy for you, Justin and your entire family. I can just imagine your excitement and the responses at the airport. That is just so cool hear about the cheers and the tears. Hope you have an incredible visit. Take lots of pictures. Cathy

I'm so happy for you, Angi. Take good care of him while he's home...

[pbrey8]

Angi, I am thrilled for you!!! Enjoy every last minute!

By the way, I 5'2" and my son is 6'4". So that is another thing we have in common! I understand completely about standing on your toes to hug him. I can only kiss John when he is sitting down! : )

HUGZ for you both!!! and the rest of your family of course!

[windstar]

I am so excited for you Angi, enjoy him for as long as you have with him.

[jstitch]

I also share your excitement, Angi. And FYI, if I had been at the airport, I would have been applauding and crying too. Enjoy your family time! That's got to be the absolute best!!!

I've just now sat down to catch up on today and just wanna say...
Yahoo! I'm sitting here crying like a baby as I envision his arrival. I would be crying and applauding too, cause I am now! They are happy, happy, thankful tears though. tee hee.
Hope y'all have a wonderful time and enjoy every minute, as I know you will. Hugs to all of y'all. I'm so excited!!!!

I'm happy he's home safe and sound Angi. I'm glad ya'll got to connect so quickly in the airpoart and the airport reception is a wonderful thing. Makes you wonder how many of them have soldiers in their family. And even if they don't - I know it's a wonderful thing when a soldier makes it home!!!!

I'm glad your family can all be together tonight for a wonderful home coming.

[sharong]

Angi, I am so happy for you! I started to cry as I read your post. God bless your time together and keep Justin safe. BIG HUGZ

[skipper]

Angi, I know how great it feel to have some one come home after being away. My husband had a tour away. So enjoy your son Justin. Hope it a long stay this time.

[mesewnice]

Very eloquent Slashie! I think that that is what we are all feeling!

I hope that this is a 'wonderfully ordinary' time for your family Angi - 'cause that is what all the best memories are made of.

[debbsie]
