Bye Honey! Have a safe trip

On Monday bright and early, I had to say good bye to Eric. Even though we were blessed to be able to spend more time with him that we thought it was still difficult. We were lucky enough to be able to drive to a local park later that day and watch the submarine as it passed through the Hood Canal Bridge. There were several guys who were standing on top of the sub and one of those was Eric. Even though we couldn't see his face we knew he was there. There were also tons of other wives and kids there to send off their husbands, fathers and dads. It was incredible to see the sub and to be surrounded by family and friends but was very sad and difficult to watch as Eric left.

We hope you have a safe and healthy deployment. Hurry home soon honey!!
