Thank You

With Veteran's Day fast approaching, I wanted to post the link to these very special 'homecomings' --

Military homecomings

Too often, I think we take for granted what members of our military do for all of us on a daily basis to great cost of them personally.  As a mother of two children, I cannot imagine what it must be like for the spouses who remain back, tending to the family, while their loved one serves for us.  Nor can I understand what it must be like for the person who serves our country (and many times on more than one tour), to have to leave their families.  Finally, when I see the tears in the children's faces when their loved one comes home, I know it must be stressful for them to have their family member somewhere else, and in many times, in harms way.

Take time to enjoy the homecomings, and if you are like me, get a tissue.
