"Home" Again

TB has been back at his homebase for several days. Within 24 hours he was out on a long mission. He seems happy to be back doing what he loves and what he’s trained for. I’m glad he loves it so much. I suppose when it comes down to it, I take comfort in that. If something should happen to him, he truly is doing what he loves.


I’m also happy that TB is so physically fit. He sent photos that provide insight into what life is like. I’ve been fortunate to receive information over the years from a lot of troops in a variety of places, so I feel as if I have a good idea about the situation TB is in. Some of the photos he sent caught me off guard, though. I can see why he works so hard to keep his soldiers fit, telling them to eat right, work out, stay away from junk food.

It’s easy for me to say I’m proud of TB. I wish there was some better way to say it, something that would really express the depth and expanse of my pride. A friend recently said, “The more you tell me about him, the more I understand why you love him.” TB is a great soldier, that’s for certain, but that’s just part of who he is.
