My daughter has a Thanksgiving assignment to decorate a plate with what she's thankful for - and of course she said - "I'm thankful for Daddy because he works so hard" - which pulled my heartstrings.
I didn't have a picture of him in his current uniform and had to ask him to have someone take a picture with his phone and send it to me - and it just arrived.
Complete Twilight Zone Moment. First of all, I haven't adjusted to having these sorts of "normal" interactions in the middle of such an unnatural situation, and getting the picture and seeing him smile up at me just feels very weird. And then of course,he looks happy, healthy, relaxed and at peace with the world - in the midst of all this chaos. Oh well, D6 will be very pleased.
