They decided it was important to them to have some photos of each other to hold on to during the long separation they have to endure for the next several months. Even though I was technically on maternity leave after welcoming our son into the world, I couldn&#8217;t say no! I am a photo junky! And photos of my kids and of my family are so incredibly important to me, even when I&#8217;m not about to be separated from them for 7 months. \ud83d\ude41 Our military families (domestic and those of our allies) give up so much to do what they do. I am always in awe of their strength and dedication, their selflessness.
