We Got the Call! Our son is coming home!

I got the call around 11:30. I could not believe it! I thought it was just going to be an update from our sw letting us know about our son's status. When she told me he was coming home, I was just speechless. She had to repeat the words a few times for it to sink in. We are completely thrilled!!!!

His travel date is not until August 29th---so we have 12 days to prepare. We were surprised by how much time we have, but we are on cloud nine to have a date, time, and flight number! Our little boy will be home in 12 days!!! WHooHoo!!!!
And this means that SWS is back in action!!!!
Karen
