So when a friend called and said, “Would you mind coming to our Homecoming to get some pictures”, I couldn’t say no. Being that my husband and I never got the traditional Homecoming or any kind of pictures of it for that matter, I know I would have loved to have them for myself, so why would I deny her that opportunity? When your husband comes home from a tour overseas, it brings so many emotions, and such a grateful heart, and an immense amount of relief. “It’s over, we did it, we made it through, feeling “whole” again, having your other half, partner in life back home with you.” Watching the excitement in your children who have had to miss their Daddy, without truly understanding why exactly they were gone.
It’s something that needs to be documented, and recorded. And I am so happy I was able to capture such a touching moment of time in my friends life. The joy, and emotions, there are not enough words so I captured images.
