Tough stuff...

Too many of those homecomings and, more precisely, too many goodbyes made me finally leave that life behind.

A child's love is a powerful thing.

I lasted about 10 seconds before it got to me. I'm not an emotional guy, but that's some powerful stuff there. I'm glad my parents were able to retire soon after I was born. I couldn't imagine one of them not being around especially knowing what the situation is where they might have been.

Aww, why did I watch that and end up having to clear my throat a bunch of times.. Must be allergies ;-)

I was fortunate enough to finish my 21 years in before my babies were old enough to understand what was going on. My heart goes out for those that have to leave their kids for long deployments and risk not coming home at all.

Knowing how I feel about my kids (4) now, there's no way I could stay in.
