For the brave in the armed forces,being sent away from home for months at a time is just part of the duty.However,it’s never an easy one to perform especially for those with children.So when I found out I was going to be stationed in South Korea for a year,I was nervous about how my five children,particularly my eldest daughter Abigail,would take the news since it meant I wouldn’t be home to see her graduate from high school.
Incredibly,Abigail told me not to worry and even suggested we live stream the event among family members when I leaked the news.“We’ve been lucky you haven’t had to be sent abroad yet.Anyway we can get connected through the Internet.See me on your phone on my spot,” Abigail said.She stepped into many of my roles when I was gone.I wanted to find a way to thank her and show her how proud I was of her.I started planning the special surprise when my request to return home a few weeks early to attend Abigail’s graduation ceremony was approved.
When my time in South Korea finally came to an end,I flew home,rented a car,and stayed in a hotel.And on Abigail’s graduation day,I hid in an office behind the stage waiting until I heard my daughter’s name called.I just kept thinking “Don’t cry.Don’t trip in your heels.Don’t fall over.” At last!Abigail was up on stage.I slipped up behind her,whispered in her ear,and around she turned! “I was just thinking,like,‘You aren’t supposed to be here.What? What? How?’ It was the biggest shock...I’m pretty sure my dad made people he didn’t even know cry.Emotional for everyone,” Abigail cried.
You know what followed:Embraces,kisses,tears,laughs,flowers,wishes...Aren’t they what a family has in store?
