You've got it, Revelry!!!...6:30 a.m. and I hear...do do doodle do...do do doodle do...do do doodle do ...do dooooooo do! Even I had to smile...yes, at that hour .

As I promised Aaron, I was on my knees at 7:00...and will be each morning til he's home. If anyone can join me then or at another time...please let me know.

Looked up at 7:15 a.m. and saw my little girl, Baby Nita,...all grown up...coffee in hand, freshly starched white coat on over her scrubs...Dr. Anita S. Leis... Obstetrics and Gynecology stitched on her pocket. That beautiful smile is still there...and she leaves to go and help bring new life into this world. At the same time, I know there's a little blonde also in scrubs...in an OR in Louisville...working her socks off...to learn and help someone get through their surgery today. I know there are things that we need to fix in healthcare, absolutely, but we still get a lot more right...than we do wrong. And I believe with all my heart that it is an honorable calling. We just need a medical Oprah to get out "our" story!

9:40 a.m. Unbelievable sounds...Sis warned me...It's an F-18 taking off! Wow! Unbelievable!!!

There still is a lot of good that's going on...

More later.......
Love, Sue

5:00 p.m. Everything stops on the base as the National Anthem is played. Mititary personnel get out of their cars and salute. Sis stands with her hand over her heart.

5:40 p.m. Aaron calls...he's arrived safely in Katar. He said that he in a room with 4 guys that's smaller than a dorm room. Sis said..."back to your roots, baby...back to your roots!" The CCAT team is out on a mission right now.

6:00 p.m. Talked with Aaron's momma, Linda Leis. Sis called to give her the update. Got to chat with her a bit. Told her that we have to have one big party when Aaron comes home!



9:50 p.m. Oops...Got the wrong number. It was an F-22 that went overhead this morning. Will get to see them from a distance tomorrow. Aaron called about an hour ago. He had something to eat and a couple of beers with the guys and was going to "hit the rack!" as they say!!!

Time to watch a movie with Sis.
Good Night...Love, Sue
