I am in tears.
When the news that Osama Bin Laden broke this week, I was very glad to hear that an enemy of this country had finally been removed as a threat. The reality of the situation had not really set in until this morning.
I had a woman come by for a fitting for a bridesmaid dress for her sister's wedding. She was profusely apologetic for arriving 10 minutes late because she was on the phone with her husband for the first time in 2 weeks. Her husband is deployed and is on the ship that transported Bin Laden's body to his burial at sea. She said it was so terrifying being cut off from communication like that and not being told the reason until after the fact.
I cannot imagine having to constantly deal with situations over which you have no control and still maintaining such a sweet smile. I am blown away by her strenght and kind demeanor, and am so thankful that this latest unknown situation in her life has passed.
What a sacrifice that our military members and their families make every single day. I admire your strength. Thank you, and God bless.
