"My Mom is Home from Afghanistan!"

IF THE FOLLOWING reunitey togetherness
doesn't
warm your heart-cockles,
absolutely nothing will:


"When a U.S. Air Force Captain returns from a year serving in Afghanistan, no one is more excited to welcome her home than her eight-and-a-half year old dog, Molly. Listen to Molly’s emotional wimpers in this touching reunion between a military mom and the dog who missed her."

SEVEN WORDS:
Absence does make
the heart grow fonder!


Ain't love grand-ly yours,
SparkleFarkle

Rest in peace, my Mollo, ZuZu, and all the soldiers who didn't make it home.

Hi, Pearl! Yeah, I am nothing but a pile of drenched Kleenex after each time I watch this clip, which is plenty, because it's love-ooze is something I cannot get enough of. What a wonderful start to the New Year for the Captain and Molly! (I wonder if THESE GUYS ever had it that good.)

Hey there, BECKY! If Uncle Walt (Whitman) were still alive, I would ask him to do a cheery variation on "O Captain!, My Captain!", written especially for this pooch and pal:

O CAPTAIN! my Captain! our fearful trip is done;
The ship has weather’d every rack, the prize we sought is won;
The port is near, the bells I hear, the people all exulting,
[then blah-blah-blah something, here, about the heart-warming homecoming, dontcha think?!]
