Nothing better than having your loved one coming home after deployment. Each time it is special. This last one though was very meaningful. My husband was on his 4th deployment in Afghanistan. He was gone almost 7 months .. but had to miss Halloween, Thanksgiving, Christmas, New Year's, Valentine's Day, and just precious moments with our 2 year old little boy. But out of all the holidays he had to miss, the hardest event he had to miss was the birth of his daughter. When he returned home she was 5 months old. Out of all the homecomings this one truly brought butterflies to my stomach. The moment he had landed on the plane and we had to play the search game. But once we found him and he was reunited with his son and introduced to his daughter .. all was right with the world. A day I will never forget.
