First, thank you everyone who has been praying for my brother, since way, way back in the beginning when he was first called up years ago, to those who did so today. Extra thank yous to Agie, for her prayer list. Those of you who know my religious beliefs know that I do believe that prayer works, is good, should be done, etc. I talk about it online, I drop it in the fics.
I tend to ignore voice mails/phone messages until the end of the day unless I've been waiting for a call or know something important is going on. As I was driving, my phone buzzed, but I couldn't get to it, and when I got home, the happy lil message icon was up. I played the message, which went something like this:
Hi, Jenn, it's mom. I just wanted to let you know, your brother's home. This is NOT an April Fool's joke. He flew in today, he just showed up in a rental car a few minutes ago and grabbed some food, and he's heading up to the base. He wanted me to let you know--
and at that point, I was crying and calling mom back, and generally, was quite happy.
It's going to be a really, really good Easter this year. Thank you, everybody, and thank you, God.
