To the woman dropping her husband off at the airport today—I saw you. ✈️👀
I saw the camo bags 🎒, the small flags 🇺🇸, the quiet signs of service to our country. I stopped to thank your husband, but I realized in that moment—I should have thanked you, too. 🙏
The tears streaming down your face 😢 said it all. My heart sank 💔 knowing you were saying goodbye for what will probably feel like a very long time.
I watched as your husband held your daughter tightly 👨👧, kissing her goodbye. You were doing everything you could to stay strong 💪—for him, for her, for yourself. I can’t begin to imagine the weight you carry, today, tomorrow, and in the days ahead. 📆
I don’t know you. But today, you were prayed for. 🙏✨
I’m sorry that so many of us forget the price your family pays. I’m sorry we often take his service—and your sacrifice—for granted. 🇺🇸❤️
To the woman at the airport—you reminded me today just how costly our freedom really is. 🎖️❤️
