Whether you enter into the status completely unaware or enter with personal knowledge of what a life as a soldier is, you can never prepare yourself enough to tell them goodbye, kiss them one more time, knowing they are about to embark on a journey into danger and the unknown. You may spend sleepless nights wondering if they are ok, praying each time the phone rings it's him/her so you can hear their voice, or even swallowing back tears each time the door bell rings. You count down the days until they return, miss them on all the important dates, but know wherever they are, their heart belongs to you.
I have recently shot two Pre-deployment sessions and I am preparing to have one shot of my own family. We go down this path as military spouses together, knowing our better half is participating in something bigger than they are, so we continue to live in a Free America! God Bless our Soldiers and God Bless their families.
