He's Home.

25 months.

Its a long time to be away.

It's a long time to be missing your best friend.

And its hard.

But all that goes away in just one moment.

When you see him coming down the airport escalator,

With a smile from ear to ear.

You just somehow forget how much you missed him every single day.

You forget how hard it was to have him leave for so long.

Because in that moment, when you see him again,

You know.

You know that there is absolutely nothing else in the whole world he could've been doing the last two years to make him that happy. 

TJ, I am so proud of you.

I am so proud of you for serving a faithful mission to the Lord.

You're amazing.

And you've become even more of an amazing person then you were before-if thats even possible.

And I am so excited to have you home(:

I've missed you!

I've missed my best friend.

Welcome home!

Sincerely,

Samantha Dru
