They say there is no such thing as an "Ex" Marine. These pictures surfaced recently and I thought... yes.... that's my Marine. The young and fearless.
Sean joined the Marines when I was 3 months pregnant with our daughter. He was gone for 6 months and I nearly died. I longed for him to be with me.
Visiting MCRD San Diego to witness Sean's boot camp graduation was like no other experience. His hug seemed to encircle my whole soul. I vowed at that moment I would never take him for granted again.
Well...I take him for granted. All the time.
When I look at these photos, I am reminded of the soldier I love.
The military is a chapter in our life that is now over. But we will always have a special place in our hearts for the few...the proud...the Marines.
