That Yellow Ribbon

That yellow ribbon is about to go up and we are heading to love on our hero-son and our precious daughter-in-love.   This was to be our big family vacation, but the situation with Karl has changed all that.  {Actually, because of Autumn working for the airlines and her flight privileges she and Karl were going to fly to meet us.}
We are leaving in a few minutes.
It has been a year since we saw Tyler.  
We must go – we miss him so much! 
It is approximately 1500 miles one way – 
 a long journey!   

Tyler’s position is such that his life is continually in jeopardy while he is gone.  He is a Sarg*nt now too, so he has quite a few men under him.  

This will be the 5th time the yellow ribbon will hang on
 the old apple tree on our lane.
Please pray for traveling mercies for all of us.
For Autumn while we are gone.
And most of all for Karl to continue to heal.
I will be talking with Vicki and Autumn constantly,
so the updates will keep coming regularly,
so you all can keep praying specifically….

  11. Wishing you blessings and joy as you go to visit your sweet, courageous son. Give him our love and thanks for serving us so well. Enjoy your time together and we'll keep praying for Karl!

  12. Praying for travel mercies! Praying for Tyler! Thank You Tyler! Great news about Karl!How about another day of fasting and praying for Karl? Janet

  13. Oh, Linny, your Tyler will be in our prayers. We have a prayer list at church for active military…and I will be adding him tomorrow. Our pastor regularly and faithfully remembers our military and reminds our congregation to do the same.

    We have yet to send our Caleb far away. He was in CT in training for almost a year, but now is stationed so close to home. His sub was in bay for refitting when his 3 months to go out were served, so he was still close to home.

    Your post brings me to tears, knowing our day will come all too soon. Yes, you HAD to go! Love on that handsome boy. Tell him this Navy mom says THANK YOU for his servant's heart!

    And, I love the photo you posted of Karl and Autumn. In our prayers, ever more!!!
