On Tuesday evening (Wednesday morning) at 3 am, my nephew, Jason Rucker, will be shipping out to Afghanistan. Before leaving for his first 'tour' he was sent home to visit with his family. The past week has been filled with 'farewell events' and no matter how busy it got or how tired you were, you just showed up for everything because it will be at least 8 months before we get to see him again. It has been a very emotional week-end and Family Day 2012 had so much more meaning to us all than any previous year. One thing Jason requested just before he left was a picture of all of us together. We went out on the front lawn of my sister;s house and, with the help of friend of one of the cousins, we got a shot with everybody in it. I can't wait for him to get back in November so that we can do this picture again!!
