The joy of deployments ending and families being reunited
A friend of mine had the chance to welcome home her husband today. He left for deployment BEFORE their baby girl was born. Today she got to meet her daddy for the first time. She spent 6 months without her husband, and she is helping me get through my 6 months without mine. I fell such joy in my heart for this tiny family- cause there is nothing better than being together. To all the families that have had to welcome home a husband, wife, brother, sister, mom, dad, son, or daughter..... make sure its an amazing welcome home. Let them know how much you missed them. Show them how much you love them. I will be able to experience welcoming home my husband in 4ish months and that will be a joyful day.

I have witnessed a few homecomings and they are precious and have brought tears to my eyes even though I did not know them. I'm glad you friend is happy now.
ReplyDeleteIt is so good to hear of families reunited after deployments! Having met this beautiful family at your wedding, I am especially thrilled. As Coffeypot mentioned...all homecomings are special and make my heart happy!!!
ReplyDeleteMy heart will do a super happy dance, when one particular Airman returns home and can hug his sweet wife and adorable baby boy!!!!
