Deployment Day - A Very Long Day

 The day started early for us all....we stayed up late talking the night away...I have already cried once or twice.

But we all got dressed up in our USA garb my daughter made for us...decorated the car and got everything ready for the day...


and the back says..."Our Hero Gabe Riley"



me and the kids




and headed on out...Gabe sat in the back with the kids



one in each side



on to the ceremony..

the kids got bears to hold onto





She is supporting our flag, supporting her dad



then we got only 20 minutes to say our good byes...not long at all.

At first they stood as one



then we kinda got dispursed as everyone took a minute to step in to say good bye to the family, the parents that raised him to be the man that he is today



a moment with his daughter, words of wisedom

a big fat hug



one lone moment with his new wife



then we moved out to the stageing area, where the buses were to carry them all away...

Goodbye to his kids



Good bye to his wife



but wait I need one last kiss she says




please to all my blogland friends keep
Our hero Gabe Riley  in your prayers



as we walked away, in a moment my daugher, the Army wife walks alone with her children
she is strong, she is brave....she is going thru something I have never had to do...how do I help her, how do I guide her, how will she make it thru..













he loves his kids..
and they love him



please I pray he returns one day...to share his stories, his love , his future with my daughter and thier kids....and the rest of us..
God please take good care of him....we are counting on you...
