Sep 17 20:40:39 *naturally, there’s no answer, just peace* Sep 17 20:42:23 We're heading home tomorrow... there's a chance the next time I get to visit will be when our little Hirschen is getting ready to arrive Sep 17 20:45:50 *a gentle breeze falls across his face* Sep 17 20:50:06 * Morgan lifts his face a little Sep 17 20:50:47 I'll get Martha to check in on your parents and siblings often... though I'm fairly sure Martha would use any excuse to see the babies Sep 17 20:54:52 *there’s a little meow* Sep 17 20:57:20 * Morgan looks around Sep 17 20:58:49 *Captain Ulysses is watching him* Sep 17 21:00:35 Come on then...
