To the woman dropping her husband off at the airport today—I saw you. The camo bags, the flags, all things that show serving our country—I saw you.
I stopped and thanked your husband for his service, but I can’t imagine the sacrifice you make every day too. Tears were falling down your face, and my heart felt heavy because I knew you were saying goodbye for a long time.
As your husband held your daughter and kissed her goodbye, I watched you. You were trying very hard to stay strong. I can’t imagine how you feel today, tomorrow, and the days to come.
I don’t know you, but today, I prayed for you. I’m sorry many people don’t realize how much his service and your family’s sacrifice mean.
To the woman at the airport—today, you reminded me how much freedom really costs. ❤️
