Today, August 27th is a very special day for Wayne and I, forty-two years ago, around 5p.m., Gordon Wayne came into this world. He was born in Joplin and weighed in at 4 pounds 15 ounces, and dropped to 4 pounds. He had to spent a few extra days in the hospital after I came home. Looking at the photo below, you would never know he was that small. Gordon joined the US Air Force in October 1985, he was 18 years old, and will be retiring from the AF next year. Wayne and I are very proud of what Gordon has accomplished with his life in the military. He has traveled the world, received his Bacholar's Degree and his Master's Degree, been in unsafe places, and is now stationed in Germany. His wife, Tammy is there with him and is a very special DIL to us.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY GORDON and may you have many more.
Love you both,
MOM

What a wonderful tribute to Gordon Barbara. I hope he had a wonderful birthday. It will be a new adventure to retire from the AF and end up back in the US. I am sure he will have to reclimatize. It will be nice that he will be in the country and you can see him again more often.
Hugs and welcome back!
