Reed insisted that we leave at 8:00 a.m. so as not to be late for the flight arriving at 10:30.
Which meant that we got there with over an hour to spare.
Finally our anticipated flight arrived.
The kid we sent off two years ago walked off that plane a man…..
….and straight into his Mama’s arms.
Finally, finally it feels like Christmas.
Welcome Home, Elder Hodson.
You’ve Returned with Honor.
Well done, you who have proven to be His good and faithful servant.
