My Little Girl
OK, she's not so little any more. In fact, she just turned 30 in December, and this month her husband Shawn's National Guard unit got sent on a 400 day deployment which will leave them in Iraq in a couple of months.
Katie is the president of the Family Resource Group for the local National Guard armory. She was the primary person in charge of planning the send-off for the unit. So on Monday a couple weeks ago, I walked into the Armory to see an amazing show. All the local media was there, flags everywhere, lots of refreshments and lots of ceremony. All planned by my daughter and a host of other people.
When thank-yous were handed out later in the evening, she was mentioned by name by one of the big-shot military guys.
Her dad, meanwhile, had tears in his eyes from being so proud of her. And from being proud of my son-in-law, as well.
