Faith,
Robert wants me to tell you "thank you" for your kind words. He just shared with me that around 15 hours before he called us from Kuwait to let us know that he was on schedule for his leave, the group he was with were told that their leaves were going to be delayed by at least a full day or longer because they did not have a plane available to fly them to Germany. There was only one plane, and the priority for boarding was those who were redeploying to their home bases, not those going on leave. An E-5 (Sargent) "broke" the rules by telling his superiors that the group Robert was with were redeploying home (as opposed to going on leave), thus allowing them to board. Thanks to this Sargent, Robert was able to get home on time and to us to help with our grieving. Our Lord was working that day to answer our need, and I give Him praise for that work.
