Like father like son

You have heard the phrase "the acorn doesn't fall far from the tree" Benjamin looks so much like his father when Perry was his age. We don't get the older boys here in Tennessee very often but when we do so many of our friends say boy they do look like their dad. We have four sons and it is so much fun when they come for a visit. When Benjamin came to visit he got to the airport to find several flights were cancelled the night he was suppose to come for Thomas' graduation. Since his Aunt Yvonne works for American Airlines he was looking for a nice evening flight and get here around 11 pm. Every American flight he tried to get on was booked because flight were cancelled because of the severe weather they had that weekend and it did not look like he would get a flight here. Good ole dad came to his rescue and booked him a flight on southwest and he made it to Love Field but his luggage did not. He spent the night (what was left of it) at his Aunt Gail's and they took him to the airport early to get his luggage and get on the first flight out to Nashville. Of all the weekends he wanted to travel the severe weather cancelled more flights and he was not able to get a flight until 5 pm. the day before graduation. We were attending a special program at our two youngest children's school when we got a call saying he was actually at the Nashville airport and no one was there to pick him up. Boy was he glad when he got to our house that night.
