called home

This song has gotten me through today and will be something that forever makes me think of Clay and other fallen soldiers.




This was played at his memorial service today, and it sums of so many of my feelings as I can only think of similar conclusions about why he was taken so early.  Today was one of the hardest emotional days - I have never cried for another mother as much as I did today.

But I cherish these precious faces more every moment because of reminders like this.

Last weekend, as we drove close to our future home, Jimmy looked at me and softly spoke the exact words that ran through my head: "We're home."  I will never forget that moment, and I will never forget that feeling.

While I was reminded of our homes here being very temporary, I am excited to be in the place that is meant for us.  I am hoping to have new and exciting details very soon.
