It's been a month since we received the crushing news about the death of Traci's husband. One of our own has experienced the ultimate blow in an Army wife's life. The month has gone by quickly for me and even Traci wonders where the time has gone. The days have brought one event, ceremony and out of town visit after the other. Since Friday's tree ceremony at Ft. Stewart, life has slowly begun to resemble the way we knew it to be. We are getting together at fabulous restaurants that only Traci would know to recommend.
And most recently, we are gathered at a friend's home to drink wine, exchange wine glasses, share humorous tales of motherhood, speeding tickets and run-ins with famous people and just getting to know each other better. This involves disclosing hidden tattoos, and confessing embarrassing truths from before we became the refined women we all know today.
The pain is still there, just under the surface, but we are getting through this. We are slowly getting our smiles back.
Always praying for our military and their families. I can't imagine the courage and faith it takes to live the lives of all those involved in service to our country. We owe a world of gratitude to you all.
