Thank you very much! Its definitely been a long road. My husband has missed countless birthdays, anniversaries, holidays, milestones and even a pregnancy and whole first year of life with our DD. He has suffered a few injuries and a few close call that were just too close. Thankfully, coming back to us each time. But, in all of this, it has only brought us closer. Every time he comes home, I thank God and fall in love all over again. Our kids are so resilient and adaptable, its unbelievable the strength they posses. This trip was planned to have some quality family time but mainly for them to just let loose and be carefree for a while. Our older boys have taken on so much. I had some heart problems while I was pregnant last summer. DH was deployed and my sweet boys really stepped up. I feel so blessed and proud to be their mother, I feel like this is the least we can do to say thank you to them.
