Deployments suck. There's no way around it. And, in case you've lived through one (or three in our case)....no one will "GET" it.
I wish I had more eloquent and PC words. But, I don't. I don't because it's not fair to you guys. You guys didn't sign up for this, and unfortunately...you're the ones affected by this the most.
I'm sorry. I truly am. I wish I could take your pain away. I wish you didn't have to go through this.
But, we're gonna get through this year. I don't know HOW we're gonna do it. But, we're gonna do it. I promise.
Annnnddd....on that note. We wanted to something special for you guys before dad left. We had this whole plan to go to the Dewberry Farm and do fall pictures. We drive out to Katy to surprise y'all....and the surprise was on us: it was closed.
So, dad said he knew a place. And he did NOT disappoint. He took us to the Houston Arboretum, and guys...it was AMAZING! Y'all fell in love with the place.
We walked one of the smaller trails and it was so great for us to see y'all just enjoy yourselves. It really was bittersweet, but I'm glad we got to end the weekend on a high note.
