The Mighty Marine came strolling through my office door to wish me a happy Valentine's Day. In the words of the Mighty Marine.... my reaction was priceless. And then he laughed. He had called me on my cell and I answered it immediately. I was in the middle of something with an employee but knew he would only be calling if it was important, it was during work hours. "Hi Ma, are you busy? What are you doing?" "I'm in the middle of a work thing with an employee, can you call me back in about ten minutes?" He had said yes and we ended the call. I apologized for answering the call, but explained he was in the Marines and I knew he was traveling and wanted to make sure everything was ok. I ended up calling him back, and asked if he'd made it to Georgia ok. "Are you busy Ma? What are you doing?" "I'm just at work, doing work stuff, I have a minute to talk. Why?" And then he walked through my office door. "Cause, I wanted to wish you a happy Valentine's Day!" Not going to lie, it was not a beautiful, gracious, single tear streaming down my cheek moment.... 'Oh, son, this is the best gift ever!' Movie moments like those only happen to your normal, calm, cool, and collected people. Try as I might, that will likely NEVER be me. In reality.... It was a throw your phone down, fling both arms up in the air like a goal post, mouth wide open, shocked faced, and loud scream type of moment. "Aaaah! OH MY GOD!! I thought you were in GEORGIA!!! Oh my God! I need to get a picture!!!" He smiled for the picture and waited patiently for me to stop repeating 'oh my God' and 'I'm so shocked'. "This doesn't mean you're going to a conflict area, does it?? Did you get this leave because you're going to a conflict area?!?" "No, ma, I'm not heading to a conflict area. I get this leave because when I leave here, I'm leaving to head overseas." I told him about what had happened between the Spawn and I, and about how concerned I was when he turned off his location setting and he laughed. "She didn't know I was coming either. It's a good thing she texted me, I wanted to surprise you." "Well, you certainly did. Best surprise ever. Now, you know, you're going to have to turn that back on because I like being able to pop in there and see where you are from time to time. Makes me feel better." "I will, Ma. Don't worry, I will." There are moments in time that happen throughout the course of our life where you just know.... This will be the best 'moment' ever. Nothing can top this. This will be the Valentine's Day that will forever go down in history as the best Valentine's Day ever, for me. Nothing can top this surprise. Happy Valentine's Day!!
