The mailbox on our curb held a treat this weekend. There was a big, fat envelope containing letters from Sister Anna!! There was a letter for Bri and Lynley and one for us!! And it was all good news!! She let down her tough exterior-for just a moment- and shared with us that she does indeed desire to return home. She admits that when her time is up it will be wonderful to see our mugs and hold babies and hang-out with her brothers and sister-in-laws!! She's been ever so careful not to allow herself to fall into a common trap of dwelling on things at home. She doesnt want to become 'trunkie.' (there really seems to be NO danger of this in her case.) She even talked of us coming to visit and seeing 'her Texas' when she finishes her service. And she also dropped a possible release date of December 17th!!!!!!! Be still my heart! And yes, my oldest son did walk in the room while I was reading and weeping with joy, and rolled his eyes like always. (this boy has no empathy what-so-ever) But I dont care...my baby girl threw me a line, and Im holding on tight!!! Bless her!!!
