Default She came home.

Sorry guys, busy life, blah blah blah.

The party was awesome. Had 60 of his closest friends there, even had a guy drive fro SoCal to see the event. I walked him outside of my house and everyone was quiet, waiting for him. He was beyond confused. I prefaced our walk by telling him that there was nothing I could say to prepared him for the moment.

When we were kids, he would whistle to bring us all home from the neighborhood. So, I asked him to whistle, and both my brothers and sister came driving in up in the car.

Best of all, we presented him with the perfect license plate. I searched for a long time, and my wife suggested the most perfect one: "ShesBack".

You ever see that on the road, tip your hat. He's an incredible man.
