Time will fly by fast and before you know it, he'll be home again. I'm sure that Tucker will be awesome where he goes because he has such an incredible family waiting for him at home. Just stay busy with the rest of the family and if you really need a hug, go visit Heidi so you can get some cuddle time with Ellie :)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13213360287207409416noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2750966252794891890.post-72457528756878203032011-05-20T18:55:36.208-07:002011-05-20T18:55:36.208-07:00ok, I can't even read the whole post, because ...ok, I can't even read the whole post, because that would make it too real.
