You don't realize how many American holidays we have dedicated to the military unless you're going through deployment like myself. Every holiday is another reminder. He isn't here, he's over there. (At least that's how my son's children's One Source picture book explains deployment.) We sleep here. Daddy sleeps over there. I'm starting to dislike the different holidays we celebrate as Americans. Of course, I'm all for honoring our military with holidays. But there's Mother's Day, Father's Day, Valentine's Day, Thanksgiving Day, and Labor Day to name few. On these days, families get together and memories that will be talked about for years and years are created. He isn't here to make memories, to laugh, to smile, to see his son potty for the first time. This is the sacrifice that so many American military men and women make to fulfill their duties to our country. This holiday is another reminder...
Wise Words
Time can't be rewind or fast-forward. You can only live in the present. That time is all the time you have. Don't depend on the time you may have tomorrow. That time may never come.
