Sweet, sweet reunion...

My dear friend, Jeneil, and her daughters, Rhema and Hope have been without their husband and father for almost a year and a half.  This week, Brandon came home from serving in Iraq and he was able to surprise the girls at their school yesterday.  I was overjoyed to be be able to participate in this moment last night (thanks to Channel 7 news...you can see the video here.) 


By far, the best moment of the week. 

Welcome home!

    Moments of true beauty for sure! I am so thankful to that family, for all the sacrificing they have done for the rest of us! And, thank you for capturing a wonderful moment, that serves as a good reminder to pray for them and others like them.

    This one brought tears to my eyes. I wonder how many times that sweet little girl envisioned a moment like this. Truly a moment to be captured. I'm so glad you did.

    Okay...you have forever topped "the moments"! After following their blog for awhile, I feel as if I know them. I had a hard time not bawling.
