Across the oceans, love is still in motion

I normally don't like to post videos. After all, shouldn't blogging be about our words?
But I found the exception.
[There was not enough kleenex to go 'round]

One of my best friends [who just so happens to be pregnant] just found out that her husband is going to be deployed soon after his training. This means he will most likely miss the birth/first few months of his first child's life.

She is unusually strong about all of this.
Because she is way more amazing than I am [or ever ever will be.]

I'm so glad my dad is in no way affiliated with the military. I don't think I could handle it.
I love being able to call him, see him whenever I please.
I can't imagine it being any other way, I'm a daddy's girl.

[My favorite part is 5:33-5:48]

We forget that the soldiers fighting to keep us safe have families too. They have
lives outside of their duties. God bless them for doing what they do, all for us.
