So back to the 4th of July, on the 3rd when we celebrated it we went out to a field and put our blankets down with our drinks, a band playing and lots of glow sticks. We watched the fireworks and were proud to be free Americans. Living for so long in a military town you get used to others around you having a sense of pride for just being there. Here in civilian world its like they get it but they don’t live it. I layed down on the blanket with Steve holding Hunter in one arm and Mia in the other, holding Steve’s hand looking up at the beautiful array of fireworks and just breathed. With all the chaos around us, with all the wild cards that are coming up we have each other. God has given us this bond for a reason, and we can do this. It may not be easy but we can do it.
