15 to 60 Days, MPH, etc.

Time! What a strange and elusive element that manages each and every one of us.


• Eight (8) plus months of time to get me home to my wife, family and friends.

• Fifteen (15 ) days to be surrounded by loved ones either personally or over the phone.

• Sixty (60) days to finish this tour off and return back to American soil. One would think 4 years (tours) should be enough, we’ll see!

Anyway, with a blink of an eye, 15 days have come and gone. To recap; a wonderful warm and loving reception by my family and friends. There's not enough to say about good friends and family. I love them all dearly.

• Whitten's, thank you for all that you do and being the friends you are to me and my family. Without you, this time away would be much harder than it already is.

• Family; you are truly awesome, each and every one of you. Brothers , sister's, son's, daughter, son in law, daughters in law, niece's, great niece's, nephew’s, nephew in law's, the whole batch of you. No one is left out of this message. It is to all of you and for all of you! Mom, Dad – I miss you each and every day.

• Blog friends of my wife; Thank you! Thank you for keeping my wife strong along this journey.

Time! So elusive – I hate you and love you! What a relationship! Please make the days pass at lightning speed until I once again return. Slow down those days spent loving my sacred time with my friends and family. Watch over me, watch over my family and friends, keep their spirits high, their goals focused and their purpose meaningful.



I have enjoyed every minute home and every episode of the Twilight Zone yesterday during the all day marathon. Soon, I will drop back into my Twilight Zone, only to return stronger and more thankful than the last.



Next year brings us all much promise. I hope each and every one of us reaches our full promise for the year and have a chance to recap together the good, the bad and the comical. Laugh much and smile often; the person on the receiving end needs it more than you! Spend time together as time is what it is! Love always, R2
