My daughter and her family were here visiting for the past ten days and they left this morning for LA (as in Lower Alabama) after making a stop in Atlanta. Her husband, Tony, is being reassigned from Hawaii to Ft Rucker to be a training pilot. Talk about your culture shock!! Just kidding. They were there before and they like it pretty well, plus he's locked into a 3 year tour without the worry of going back to Iraq.
Anyway, at about 1:30 this afternoon my cellphone rings and it's her. "Dad," she said, "guess where we are?" Where? "We're right outside your old high school!" (Did I say she was sentimental like me?). Anyway, she then proceeded to drive around town and tell me some of the things she saw. It's been about 15 years since she was there, so she was enjoying herself.
It made a sad day a little brighter. I'm going to miss them... especially the two little girls, but she knew just the right way to take some of the sad away. :)
