I hope that everyone will be reunited with their loved ones soon. The wait is really hard, but once they are here you will see how worthwhile it all was. Best wishes to everyone.

Going on 21 months.

Don't just open your mouth and prove yourself a fool....put it in writing.

It gets harder the more you know. Because the more you find out, the uglier everything seems.
