My brother showed up out of the blue on Tuesday! I walked into work and Neelum told me that someone was illegally using the Legacy room and she wanted my help with enforcing our sign-in rules. I hate being the bad guy but agreed to help. When she opened the door to the Legacy room, there he was!
For once the flight patterns had worked in our favor, and my brother was at JBB for the night! It was so nice to have a hug! We went to grab some midnight chow and he made himself at home in the Red Cross Office. I brewed some coffee, gave him some of our baked goods (he’s a cookie monster) and we had a good time. He made good use of our sofa in the day room. And even though he was sleeping and I was working, it was a good feeling knowing he was just down the hall.
The visit was short, but I was thankful for it. Of course I sent him off right with a loaf of honey whole wheat bread for him and his buddies to share. I hope we can cross paths again!
Bumpy ride in a Army helecopter - free, lounging in a lazy boy - free, a hot cup of joe - free, a surprise visit and a hug from your brother in a war theater...PRICELESS!!! You guys look great. Sure am glad that you two were able to hook up. Enjoy every minute.
