Today was a descent day. I got to see my husband over a video call. We caught up on everything again and talked about the future to come. We discussed plans for R&R and about setting aside the money so we could do a few short trips while he is home. We are communicating well. That is something I am proud of. We have always been a couple that talks about everything, and not even the distance is changing that. It is nice to know, though I did not doubt it, that a pillar of our marriage is still holding strong. I also did some clothes shopping for the kids. All of them, but Daniel especially, are growing out of their clothes quickly. It was awesome because the PX (Post Exchange) was having a clearance sale on all their already clearance priced clothes. I got $331 worth of clothes for all three kids for a third of the cost. So, aside from a few extra pairs of pants, they are set.
This morning, as I started the internet for a video call, I was very upset to learn about the helicopter crash in Afghanistan that took the lives of 31 American soldiers and 7 Afghan soldiers. Sadly, the news came out shortly after it happened, which means, most likely, the families had not all been notified. My heart breaks for those 31 families as they may have found out on the news, something that should be, and mostly is, avoided at all costs. I pray for those families that are grieving right now and for those soldiers we lost. Our nation lost a lot of great soldiers today. With a heavy heart, I ask you all to give a moment of silence and join me as I pray for the fallen soldiers and the families they left behind, this goes for all soldiers we have lost today and in the past, those that we haven't heard in the news.
So, that is all for tonight. The event of the day was really all I could write about. Another day gone, for better or worse. Another day closer to seeing my love.
