This photostream originated in an attempt to allow someone special to us feel a little closer to home.... (instead of 7000 miles away) Whether they needed to or not....and I'll admit, maybe helping me more than the other party... I use this site to bring us just a bit closer. With the possibility of an entire additional year more of this, and a yet another important person being sent over seas in a few months... I am sure, Flickr and I - will stay busy... The web site linked to this Flickr site belongs to another special person... who makes all of us feel that we are truly blessed... To him I say ....Thank you for everything you have done, and for everything you do to make the lives of the people around you so INCREDIBLY WONDERFUL! You will never know the gratitude I have in my heart.
