Title: Just a quick sharing
Post by: Joe Just on February 11, 2012, 09:05:25 AM

Sometimes one just has to share a thought or two that dosn't revolve around Carier planes etc.  This morning I was awakened at 5AM with a phone call.  *&^&%$%^ who the heck is calling at this time of morning?  Ready to blast my opinion I picked up the phone and said "Hello".  A long pause and I was just about to hang up when I faintly heard, "Hi Grandpa!"  It was my grandson Logan, my best buddy flying' fishing partner calling from Afganistan.  He has just been deployed there and is a Marine Helicopter mechanic.  What a great way to an early start of a rainy day. Talking with him sure puts a new prespective on life.  I miss him so much!  Guess what I really am trying to say is savor the moment when you can. Love those near and dear and pray for those not closeby.  Here is a shot taken about 5 years or so ago. It reflects a specail time and a very special day. Thanks for putting up with an old man's pride and anxiety.

Joe,
Hope all goes well for your Grandson. Glad he gave you a call. Family is a good thing.

If I'd known grandkids were this much fun, I'd have had them first!

Thanks for sharing Joe.   Not all grandkids are bad.  If the one that was the first to fly for me doesn't wind up in detention home some place, may get her back with electric.  When you talk to him again thank hom for the old DOC for serving our country. H^^

Hi Joe,

I bet you've been walking on Cloud 9 today!  A great feeling I am sure.

Thank Logan, from all of us, for his service to our country.

Thanks Logan. He flies CL too. He has always been a great kid but he seemed so laid back you would never have guessed he would be such a fine Marine. I hope he stays safe.
