In honor of Adam reaching the correct -Stan, here's a heartwarming story involving deployments.
Children show their innocence in some amazing ways. It's never expected, and always amazing. They are terrific, loving little creatures, and say the darndest things.
Yesterday was our first phone card sponsored call from Afganistan. For a month, my husband has been in New Jersey for combat training (New Jersey in the middle of winter to prepare for the desert. Who thought of that???).
Since he's actually gone now, I was having a pretty hard day. I sat my son down and explained to him that I'm sorry I'm so grumpy, I'm just having a bad day because I miss Daddy a whole, whole lot.
"I give you a hug and a kiss, Mama!" was the response I got.
"That would be great, Bubba," I told him.
"A big smushy, squishy hug!!!" he said.
That may be the best hug I've ever gotten. I love children!!!
