Baby Boy
When you opened the door, Rob stood with a bouquet of red roses and a smile on his face. He had been deployed over a year ago, and you didn’t know anything about his mission, only surmised the danger.
You greeted him with a hug and kiss, crushing the bouquet, then stood back and clutched your chest, while tears streamed down your cheeks. “I can’t believe you’re home!”
You took him by the hand, pulled him into the house and hugged him again fiercely this time.
You had something wonderful to show him.
The baby boy upstairs in his crib.
