Just wanted to express my graditude for all military families, and what they must go through. Interesting, I was listening to my Uncle talk yesterday, who is a WWII Army vet. He is 85 years old, and I can count on one hand the number of times I have heard him talk about what he did in the war.
In any case, he was telling a story to us in the car, and I asked my Dad later what it was like for him, and Grandma and Grandpa, while my Uncle was deployed.
My Dad was young, but he says he remembers each night, listening to the radio in the kitchen of their farmhouse, waiting for news, "from the front." Dad said that my Grandma was always baking something during the broadcasts, and after they were over, a homemade apple pie, or sugar cookie was shared.
Dad said that grandma just hugged him tight during those times, and did not let him wander too far from home.
My memories of a great mom to her children...my Grandma.
