Boy when Jacquelyn smiled, I nearly melted on the spot. She took a step back, reached for the knob of the door and opened it. I had fully expected to see Jacquelyn’s family, but instead, standing there smiling ear-to-ear was my young friend Joey as well as his Mom and dad. Up until that moment I had never seen Joey’s dad; I had only talked to him online in the ILD.com chat room or on Instant Messenger. I knew that he had only recently returned from the Middle East and he was still sporting an excellent tan. Of course I’d long since lost my own and was rapidly turning a drab and pale olive green.
“JOEY!” I shouted and pounced on him, nearly causing him to fall over backward.
