New year is a little sad...

Postby draglist » Fri Dec 28, 2012 10:26 pm

Just got a call from Jason with some bad news. He had to have an operation on his foot on the 27th and they put him on a medical hold. He won't be able to fly home tomorrow night and that means we won't be able to share his birthday celebration with him at home on New Year's Eve.

We miss him terribly and this setback when all four of us were so close to being together is very hard.

Jason got his plane ticket canceled for credit and the ship says they will let him fly home as soon as he is cleared, but we don't know when that will be. Maybe a few weeks to a month or more.

Perhaps then he will have longer than five days at home... that might be the silver lining (plus, his toe will be better).

With everything else going on in the world it's hard to complain. We are very blessed but just a little blue tonight. bp

Too bad BP, but home now less time, home later more time, so until then - Have a
Happy Birthday Jason.
Jack Approved!

Thanks, jack. Just talked to him and we are all feeling a little better. He has a checkup on January 7th... hope to get good news after that.

We are going to go ahead and have our Christmas with Emily tomorrow and we are going to have his all night birthday bash on the 31st, including a phone call to him at 10pm (noon the next day his time).

Hoping he can be home within a few weeks... and will either fly Emily down here or take a road trip to Ohio to see her... bp

It seems things happen for a reason. I know this was going to be a special time, but it got postponed through none of your doing. Jason is a fine young man and he will be coming home as soon as he can. I hope his foot heals up quickly and everything can be arranged for you all to have a joyous reunion soon. Have a happy birthday, Jason! WC1

Thanks, Jim and John. We had our annual all night gamer fest last night and Jason called twice on the Tango iphone video app and got to 'hang out' with his pals. Emily is pals with most of the same group, so they had a good time. We are hopeful that Jason can be home at the end of them month. And then we will do Christmas, his birthday, and an all night new year's eve celebration all over again! bp
