Yeah. DU is like that at times. This is a thread for someone special here

[The Straight Story]

He helped me out tonight. In a way that means more to me than I can ever express. A DU'er made sure that I would see my son.

I have a lot going on in my life, more than I am willing to discuss openly. One special DU'er made sure I could see my little boy one more time before he heads off to war.

I have cried more tonight than I have in the last several years. I don't know how to begin to say 'Thank You'. All I can do is post this video and hope you and he and understand how much tonight meant to me.

Someone out there cared enough to talk to me on the phone tonight. Cared enough to talk to my little boy. Cared enough to be sure that I would see him before he left to Iraq for 12-18 months.

I am going to see my son in 2 days, it will be the last time for 12-18 months. I missed him so much for years - I did not know where he and his brothers were for 8 years. I used to search the papers where I thought he and they lived hoping to learn their fate. I worried that he might have died.

I am so happy tonight I can barely type. I will see my boy Saturday night. I will hold him again.

Monday, he and I are going to his mom's grave site. It will be hard for him, but thanks to someone special here he and I will be able to do that together.


I just don't know what to say. This week has been terrible, but finally I have a ray of hope in it all.
