Clarification
I should have wrote where my inspiration came from for the ending of my blog. The day before I watched the evening news with Diane Sawyer(it comes on here in the afternoon)...and they had a small section about the Homecoming of the 101st...as per usual with news stations they broadcast the Homecoming and Departure. Our cable stations mostly come from AFN(Armed Forces Network) and they are full of celebrities saying...they support the military...using it as a publicity plug. And Noah had a rough day yesterday that did test my patience...he thankfully gave me time between his fits to let my patience meter fill back up again...but it just made me think that moments like this don't make it on the evening news...and all those professional baseball players that are on commericals saying they support the military...would have ran in the opposite direction had they come into contact with Noah yesterday! And I hope I didn't offend anyone...but it occured to me that the American public is all about supporting the military but this is done in celebrating Homecomings...and there is so much more to our lives than waiting for that "moment"! There is a lot of living that is done between the broadcast of the Departure and the small blip given of the Homecoming "moment". I don't sit around waiting for Zack to come home...we live our daily lives, celebrate those special days, and fill our time with events, outings, and friends! If only a news anchor would spend a few weeks inside of an overseas military base...they would then witness the real military life...and realize that we in no shape or form sit around waiting for the "moment"!
