3. Good for that little boy

I couldn't help simultaneously thinking of all the little boys and girls who will never have that chance.

All because of a bunch of psychopaths and sociopaths who call themselves leaders.

10. I can't help but wonder how long his daddy gets to stay home before he is deployed
again for his umpteenth tour.

11. I am so happy for that little boy ...
and I know that even while I am watching this at this dawn hour, that little boy is still clinging to his daddy while he sleeps and I don't blame him. Bless his heart - the look on his face when he ran to his daddy and the tears ... Pardon me.

12. While I was crying I realized
the relief on that boys face and the way he held his dad is what we all want. this is one big gaping hole of fear, longing for peace and normalcy. we have been held over the edge of this terror, this war, this boogie man of an invisible enemy, this pillaging of our country. we have been occupied. our country is being sapped in front of our eyes. we want our daddies home to make it better. we are all that little boy and we cry because we are still waiting

13. That's what it's all about
I am reminded of what Lincoln says in that Rozerim commercial: "We just wantcha back." :cry:

20. And remember; this kid is one of the LUCKY kids; his dad didn't come home in a box or a wheelchair.
