When they finished laughing

I would like to thank the Marine Corps for returning Bestie to me.  It is so good to talk to him and pull out the phone to text whenever I feel like it. 

When they finished laughing they were on their way to being not just friends, but the dearest of friends, the sort of friends whose lives are shaped by the friendship.

Welcome Home






With a deep sigh of relief:
Welcome Home, Marine.

Welcome Home.

Oh, how we have missed you.
