I'll probably never know that little girls name....but I owe her my life..because just those 2 words caused the walls to fall....and even tho the wounds sometimes still hurt....It's a hurt I can take.

Just because someone said..."Welcome Home"....

...and I looked down into the face of a 9 or 10 year old little girl with a hugh grin on her face.

She asked me if I had been in Vietnam.

I said yes.....and then she said the words that healed...
that allowed the scabs and scars to be taken away.

"WELCOME HOME"


Too often the child sees what the "grown-ups" can't or won't.

Matthew 21: 16 (KJV)
And (they) said unto him, Hearest thou what these say?
And Jesus saith unto them, Yea; have ye never read,
Out of the mouth of babes and sucklings thou hast perfected praise?
