This morning, Alex and I said goodbye to Jeremiah. We all woke up at 3 AM to take him to post. Jeremiah had to do a few things before they boarded buses at 5:45 to head to the airfield. Alex and I got to spend a little time with him and say our goodbyes. Then we watched the buses head off before we came back home to start our new life.
It was very hard to say goodbye and it will be a long year without him. I have to remember though that it was even harder for him to have to say goodbye to Alex. We love him so much and we are so proud of him for serving his country and being the soldier he has always wanted to be!
I also want to take this opportunity to thank all of our friends and family for their love, support, and prayers as we start this deployment. It means so much to our family. We feel so fortunate to have so many wonderful people in our lives.
