Today, I pay tribute to my grand-dads & Pops.  Many of them, as well as cousins & great Uncles have fought in the many wars that have worked their way into America.  From the Revolutionary War to Operation Enduring Freedom.  The many men in my family have put themselves in the line of fire to ensure that I have the liberties I do today & ensure that their grandchildren (great-grands, great-cousins, etc) have even more freedom & liberties.

Its truly been an honor being a part of such a prestigious family.  If I could, I would kiss each one and give them a grateful hug.  And for my Pops, since he is here, alive & kickin….thanks.

The other stuff.

Today I sit on the cusp of knowledge.  Knowing if I’ll just be another over-reactive baby or if my worries will be confirmed.

I hope that the news will be negative in a positive way.  But no matter which way the pendulum of tragedy swings, I’ll take it.  I’ll do it.  I’ll work it out.

Cause that’s just the way Moms made me.

See you all on the flip side.
