Sometimes the smallest details are the ones that mean the most. There is something heartwarming about such a small gesture. The hand of a child tucked safely in their father's hand.
You don't need to see their faces to know that there is an expression of contentment on the child's face. Suddenly his world feels a lot safer and he can relax after a year's separation.
So no matter how often I see a soldier holding his child's hand, I will always be struck by the moments in my memory....the ones where I see the contentment of a reunion!
I know that my time at Fort Hood has come to an end...and while I won't miss the deployments, I will miss the reunions. Fort Huachuca Arizona isn't known for separations. I'm glad for that! Yet, I will always love the joy and excitement of a reunion that makes me feel that the world is a wonderful place to be.
