Well it’s been confirmed, my oldest son will not be able to make it home for the holidays again this year. About a year and a half ago he moved quite far away from home and hasn’t been back home for a visit ever since. He was seriously trying to make it home for Christmas this year and had even checked out a lot of different travel deals but he was unable to get the time off that was needed to make the trip home. Although we are all disappointed here, I’m sure he is more disappointed than we all are. Right now all he has around him is a lot of friends. We at least have each other. Oh well. I’m sure he will still have a good holiday and he has started making plans to come home for a visit around the first of the year. So that is a least something that we can all look forward to.
