A Welcome Sign

.He saw her holding up a sign: "Welcome Home Daddy", scrawled in red crayon by a blue-eyed angel. After months in the desert this soldier found his oasis. Kim Merryman Giveme A Sign contest by Nette Onclaud 5/16/15

Thank you, Judy! My son is in the army and he has a blue eyed baby girl. I just thought of him coming home from a deployment. Fortunately he has only deployed once to Afghanistan but made it home just in time to see his daughter born. Currently he's in Korea.
