I cheated a little bit this morning with my "take 100 steps and shoot" photography challenge. I only walked 91 steps. I was brought to the front foyer of The Mansion where my little light shines all day and all night. In case you are new here, the light is for my son of my heart, Eric, who is a helicopter pilot in Afghanistan. It is the third time I've had the light in the window; he served two tours in Iraq also.
I took the picture, had a little cry and then headed for the computer to download it. There I found this incoming email:
"Hi everyone. I just wanted to let you know that I will be home sometime in the next two weeks for R&R. I will be in TN for a few days and then off to Maine to see the family. I know it's short notice. It was for me too. I will hopefully see you all soon.
Eric"
It's very easy today to believe in miracles.

how wonderful! I don't know enough words to express what I can only imagine your joy to be. Enjoy your brave son while he is home and tell him that this cynical peacenick says thank you for your service. And I mean it.
