Jeff's Almost Last Night Home at Danny's

Since we decided to spend Jeff's last night at home making our annual steak dinner, we went to Danny's two nights before Jeff left. We told friends to stop in to say "see ya soon" to Jeff and a few of my coworkers came as well. I have to say that while we only have limited family here, we truly have made "family" from our friends. Danny and his wife Debbie have been so supportive and have done so much for Jeff since he has been reactivated. Between throwing his going away party, checking in on me, having the GI Needs program and eagerly anticipating the Welcome Home Jeff party, they are angels in disguise. The friends we have made at Danny's are irreplaceable. Cowboy Joe, one of the frequent karaoke-rs, and his wife Penny came to see Jeff off along with a couple cans of dip for him. Cowboy Joe sang a wonderful rendition of "American Soldier" to Jeff that made us all cry. He also gave Jeff his St Jude medal to wear to keep him safe and to have him know that others are thinking of him. Amazing how many people care and love us. We are truly blessed. Here are some pics of the night at Danny's.
