Olivia's first day of Kindergarten was yesterday (Sept 2nd) and it is kind of bittersweet. Gary has missed so much of this little girl's life (from previous and current deployments) and this is one more thing that he can never get back. Even when he's not here, he is her hero and amidst all the excitement yesterday, she said, "Mommy, Daddy will be home soon," as if she is confirming his absence but anxiously anticipating his return. She was so excited to go to school, but Gary was still in her thoughts. He will probably miss many 'firsts' but at least he can see them in the pictures posted here. It will be so great to have him home, we just have to wait ...
