I love reunions! I was able to accompany a family to the airport the greet their loved one who was coming home on leave.
We go there about a half hour before the plane came in. For these kids, it must have seemed like hours waiting for daddy to step off of that plane.
He snuck off the plane and surprised all of us. He told them he would be in civilian clothes, so none of us noticed him right away.
I didn’t notice at the time, but look at all those people in the background of these photos with smiles on their faces. I think the man must have been a surgeon, he is standing off to the right side of photo. He stood there for quite a while just watching with a huge smile on his face.
Being able to accompany these families for reunions and homecomings really makes me appreciate what I have and it is thanks to them that I have it.
So for all of you that are in the military, I thank you for all that you have and are doing to keep me and my family safe and living like we do.
Now to just think away this cold that won’t go away….
