Our Soldier

Friday night, my sister-in-law, was deployed. We were able to go and see her off, which was quite the experience. An experience that I hope we don't have to go through again. To see all the families that will be without husbands/fathers, mothers/wives is crazy.



There were tons of pregnant wives of soldiers leaving. Lots of families with tiny babies and little kids. It's just sad. My brother handled things well...and so did Jayme. It will be weird not to have her here for the next year, but I know she'll be ok.



While we were there, they had a line of bikers holding flags. These bikers ride for "Fallen Heroes." It was really cool to see. They stood in front of the airplane that was taking Jayme and her unit. And then as the soldiers were boarding the plane, they stood with their flags in two lines for the soldiers to go between...super neat!



I'm so glad though that we were able to go and support Braden and Jayme at this time in their life. Jayme, we love you and miss you already. Hope you are doing well. Don't forget that we are here praying for you and your safe return.



Hugs and kisses!!!
