šŗšø Some of us came homeā¦
I served. I deployed to Iraq in 2008. And I got to come backā¦and so did my husband after several deploymentsā¦
But not everyone did.
Today isnāt about the ones who served and came home.
Itās about the ones who didnāt ā¦and the families who set a place at the table that stays empty.
Thereās a mom somewhere today who can still hear her sonās voice. A wife folding a flag instead of laundry on the floor in tears. Kids who only know their dad through stories and a photo on the wallā¦
Memorial Day belongs to THEM.
Iām not going to tell you I understand that kind of loss. I donāt. My family was spared it, and I will never stop being grateful for thatā¦.
So today Iām just going to be still⦠I look at that other photo when you swipe every year and Iām so grateful that is not me begging for my husband to still be here.
If youāve got a name in your heartā¦.someone who gave everything, or a family still carrying that weightā¦.im praying for you today.
They didnāt come home so we could forget⦠May they always be remembering for paying the ultimate price
Xoxo
