He's in the military in CA and it is still undecided whether he comes home for the holidays.
He talked to his CO and a decision will be made next week.
I am hoping and praying he does ... not just for me and him, but for our whole family.
Except for a few hours at graduation (myself and hubby attended), no one has seen him in over a year.
He is devastated, they are devastated. All I want is Matt home for Christmas.
Please keep all of us in your thoughts and prayers.
Thanks,
Loretta

I have the our new tree still in the box ... just bought it for the occasion ... cost $200.
Would rather just forget the entire holiday.

A government big enough to give you everything you want, is strong enough to take everything you have.
--Thomas Jefferson--
You cannot build character and courage by taking away people's initiative and independence.
You cannot help people permanently by doing for them, what they could and should do for themselves.

I feel for you. Hold off making any decisions about the holidays for a little time and maybe you'll change your mind. I think he wants you to be happy, don't you?

"Women should not have children after 35. Thirty-five children are enough." - anonymous (Only 28 to GO!) 12|1|Several years ago we got a Christmas miracle ...|lwhphd|loretta.harvey.phd@verizon.net|20:50:37|12/14/2009|
when Matt's dad got his kidney transplant. Now I'm praying for another one.
I called Matt's recruiter tonight and he has encouraged me to go out there and talk to the commander.
I'm hoping he will see my point of view and let me escort Matt home on Friday.
I really need Matt at home this year ... I'm hoping for just one more Christmas miracle.
If you believe in miracles, please pray for our family.
