My husband served in the Air Force during the Vietnam era. He was sent to Kunsan, South Korea five months after our son was born and he was stationed there for thirteen months. When he returned, our son had no idea who he was. It took a long time for father and son to get reacquainted.
Such is the case for many who have served or are currently serving in the military. With so many deployed today, I'm glad that technology has provided us with video conferencing.
This is a photo of our son in a jacket that his dad sent from South Korea. He was around fourteen months old when it was taken. Beneath the jacket he is wearing a corduroy jumpsuit that I made for him. His dad thought it was a bit girlie. I do not agree. :-)

I'm ashamed to say it, but I didn't realize that Dad was in South Korea for so long!! That is unfathomable. This was a very thoughtful post for veterans day.
ReplyDeleteThat rocker is so beautiful. Rob and I have talked refinishing a couple of rockers to have on our front porch.

Jessie: No need to feel bad about not knowing everything there is to know about your family. That's what the boxes in the attic are for. Surprises galore await. :-)
