AF Day 121

Las Cruces, NM, at 0815 - Monday

What will today hold for this weary soul? What treasures await in the hours of sun-drenched daylight ahead. I see the day unfolding with time spent in the hot tub, the pool, maybe a little necessity shopping, maybe a little fun shopping for my son, and with plenty of time for reflection and redirection no doubt. Mondays are always a welcomed sight for this man.

Kaesen woke with me today. He told me, "Daddy, I love waking up with you before Momma and spending time with you." Incredible from a 4-year-old boy. Incredible words from any son to any father, yet they came from my son and were meant only for me - his daddy. I love this little boy so very much and am so thankful for his life and spirit. He has also said how much he misses me in Afghanistan, and more, how much he loves me - the only words this father ever needs to hear.

Live well, friends, be well, and perform well.

143, Kaesen.

Good night and good day.
