Thanks for thinking of this thread -- I add my prayers to service men & women around the world serving their country and often away from family for extended periods. My oldest son is a LT in the Navy, just home from a 6 month cruise and will be going on another 6 month cruise this coming fall. This is unusual to have to go on 2- 6 month cruises in two years but he had been lucky with no extended cruises for a long time prior so I guess it just caught up. Still this is such a long time to be away from his wife and daughters. I got to go spend a week with them in FEB and had such a great time. They know how to enjoy each other when they are together, making up for time apart.
We can never take our freedom for granted -- so many sacrifice so much to ensure it is possible. Thank you! |
