114 days

Dave has been locked away from us for 114 days.  He has missed one graduation, 14 baseball games, 16 volleyball games, one space derby, two piano/music recitals, 114 sunsets, one swim meet, two children's birthday's, 16 church services, 2,736 hours away from his family, mother's day, father's day, 342 family meals, one Easter, 16 date nights and three school programs.   One thing he hasn't missed is our nightly family prayers.  I am so grateful that he is able to call home every night so that we can have family prayer with him.  We are praying hard every night that he will be able to come home soon so that he will not miss anymore family meals, baseball games, football games, birthdays, etc.  We will not stop praying until he is home where he belongs.
