Been a long time gone

Go read a beautiful thought.
Being away for a long time is something everyone should do at some point, or at least have done to them. There’s nothing like being rotated back, and that moment, after a year overseas, when you put your arms around your baby, your mama, or your brother. I think the only bad part is how much longer it is for you than it is for the people back home. I remember when I came back to the States after being out of the country for two years, and so many people said, ‘what? I didn’t realize you were out of the country!’ And I was like, fucker! I just been to every goddamn corner of the world, wanting every minute to get back home in case something happened without me, and you fuckers didn’t notice I was gone?! Fucker!
Well, anyway, Sandy writes it better.

Y'all have yourselves a fine Saturday evening, now!
