Tomorrow morning my little brother, the United States Navy Sailor, returns home to Norfolk, Virgina. I am so proud of my little brother and the man that he has become. Who knew that such a quite and shy little boy could grow into such a strapping and brave young man?
We miss that he is not here. He doesn't get to see his nephews often or us for that matter. Luckily, he is able to have his wife there with him and he isn't often out to sea. Together they are learning that being "grown ups" isn't really as fun as it looked from the other side of 18. They are young but, they are good kids and they will continue to be blessed for the hardworkers that they are.
Oh, to be young and in love like that again...before the kids and the mortgage and the stress. If only I had known to appreciate those days for what they were!
