Celebrating the 4th of July on a Marine Corp base brings the idea of " Patriotism" to a whole new level.
Every year they have a huge concert in the field followed by the most breathtaking fireworks I have ever seen. The field is lined with bounce houses and snack shops all of which are free. We have made it an annual tradition to attend and by the grace of God, our hero was with us again this year. I remember looking over at him halfway through the fireworks and he mouthed to me " I love you" and I prayed right then for time to stop. I wanted to stay in that moment forever. Sophia was snuggled so perfectly into his lap and smiling from ear to ear as she pointed out every pink firework. Lucy was nestled into my lap and laughing with every BOOM of the fireworks. I hope I never forget how I felt at that moment. Truly blessed.
