This weekend, my dad and stepmom came up to see me off. My flight to Kuwait leaves this Friday, and it was so great that they wanted to drive all the way from Miami to visit. While we had only 24 hours together, it was so special to see them one last time before beginning my year-long journey. We had a nice dinner in downtown Columbia and they even reserved a hotel room for me so I didn't have to sleep in the barracks.
This experience is giving me even more appreciation for friends and family. In the rush of daily activities, sometimes we don't stop to fully appreciate the people in our lives whom we love. My parents fully support my decision to serve our country, and their love and encouragement continue to be the wind in my sails. I cherish them and you, my extended family, and thank your for helping to keep my spirits up during this difficult mission.
