There just seems to be this trend lately that is causing me to reflect even more on the value of a daddy. With my husband away most of the time, two clients leaving for year long deployments, and even more so, with the story of Rob Murphy; I have been face to face with how much a daddy’s love means to a family.
This lifestyle is not for the weak of heart and brings into light the other side of this story. The amazing mommy’s that I have come to love. The ones that piece it all together and keep the family strong during these times. There is so much worth celebrating.
When I was talking with Brandi about Shane’s upcoming deployment her strength amazed me. She gently said, we have been lucky… we feel it is our turn and fighting it will only make it harder. I know there are women that have never had to live a day without their husbands and here is one, when faced with a whole year apart, has the grace of the strongest.
I have known this family for a few years now and have loved watching their oldest grow. For this visit I got to meet their newest little one, it was so amazing for me. When they got out of the car my heart raced with excitement. In that moment I realized this is far more than a relationship….it is family. For that, I am thankful to have one of the biggest families in this world. All of you.
Thank you for bringing me along and making my world so sweet.
Until Soon,
SN
