One of my favorite blood cousins is Stevie. (Shh.... don't tell anyone) Stevie has been in the army for the past 12 years as a helicopter mechanic. He has been on 6 deployments. In my high school years I became really close with Stevie. I could tell him anything. Last Friday he was finally home. And when I mean he came home, his home for good.
Last Friday Stevie didn't know we were coming down for his welcome home party. Once my family and I walked through the door. His eyes got big like he was so happy to see us. He got up and gave me a hug. I held my tear back so much.
I have such respect for the wives/husbands of all military men/women. Saying goodbye or hello is probably the most emotional thing EVER!
