In Honor.

On Ryders due date, Michael emailed me to tell me that he had flown a flag that morning, in honor of our son.he wasn't sure what day Ryder would actually get here, but he wanted to do something for him half a world away. i teared up when he wrote that to me.

Today i was looking on the CLB-7 Facebook page and i saw these two pictures. they are honestly the sweetest thing i have ever seen, and i just lost it. all emotion. i miss him so much.

Daddy couldn't be there for Ryders birth, or first day home, first bath, or any other firsts for 7 months.
But in Afghanistan, a flag was flown for our son, Michael Ryder Nelson Junior.
near or far, he's got my heart. <3
