Sometimes being a Military family really stinks..

The other night while Rory and I were watching Dancing with the Stars, she was looking through the drawer in my nightstand and came across some old pictures. There were 2 in there from the very early morning that Bryan deployed in 2008 and we were on the way to take him to the drop off. Then Rory asked, "When is Daddy going on the airplane again to be with his soldiers?" I told her it wasn't for a few more months, and we would talk about it more as it got closer.




Fast forward to this morning.....Bryan and I got the kids in the car, all buckled in, said the goodbyes for the day, and then I started backing the car out of the garage and Bryan went back in the house. Then Rory pipes up from the back seat "Why did Daddy, kiss us goodbye?" "Rory, doesn't Daddy kiss all of us goodbye every morning that he goes to school?" "Umm, yes. But why did he go back into the house? Is he going on the plane today?" Rip your heart out and throw it on the ground. Guess this is going to be a long summer....
