Home (5.31.12)

I look through the crowd with eager eyes. There is such a huge crowd at the dock waiting to welcome their heroes home. It has been so long since I saw you. I can't believe the war is finally over, and you are finally coming home!

All around me people are greeting husbands, brothers, fathers and lovers with tears of rejoicing.

Where are you, Rich?

Suddenly I'm picked up from behind and swung around.

When my feet hit the ground, I turn around.

It's him. He's safe. He's here.

"Meg!"

I fall into his waiting arms and kiss my hero.
