A brave friend

It is funny.  Here were are in Paris, France.  Troy wears a suit to work and you never ever see military uniforms except for the occasional French parade.  After living for many years in a military lifestyle ie: bases, commissary shopping, uniforms, promotions, rank etc., we find ourselves in a space in between the two worlds of military and civilian life.  Until you get the news from a good friend and it reminds you of your life choice.

We recently learned that our good friend will be deploying to a far off and very scary land.  She leaves her 3 year old at home with a most capable daddy because this is her job and she does it well. It reminds us of the sacrifices that are taken on a daily basis by men (daddies) and women (mommies) alike.  

For the next year she will be doing what many couldn't fathom doing.  We wish for her safety and that the time go fast until she can come home to her family and to her friends. 

We love you K and are here for you and your family.  This may be the only time you see this loyal Air Force wife say this (although we really are one military)-GO ARMY. 

Safe return my friend.
