Daddy's Girl

One of the most precious things that has come out of the last 2 months is the bond that Andy and Carolyn have already. When he walks in the room, she lights up. She smiles great big smiles anytime he gets close to her. And on his side of things it was love at first sight.

We're so grateful that his squadron gave him the opportunity to spend her first two months here with her. It will be very hard for him to leave us, we know. But... how precious these two months have been. We wouldn't take them back no matter how much it hurts when he leaves. It's like what they say in the Shadowlands... The pain then is part of the joy now... and of course, the joy now will be part of the pain then. Both are important and necessary and beautiful.
