had to get this one down before i forgot. journaling reads: you told me you weren’t worried about leaving, but all morning you were so scatterbrained. You put conditioner on your face, lost your hat, spilled your coffee, and pulled the bank door instead of pushing. And I caught this look on your face when I was snapping some photos. Don’t worry, baby. We can do this.

I love how you captured his expression.  The old saying rings true. A picture’s worth a thousand words.  I love everything about this.

This layout is going to be one you will want to frame… it’s amazing quality to capture a REAL slice of life you won’t want to ever forget is so touching.

You captured such a monumental moment with class & sensitivity.  The journaling is so touching – the spilling of the coffee, etc; I’m sure it would have been forgotten had you not done this today.  Thanks for sharing!

I am going to cry!  This is so beautiful!  I remember those deployment days... I think leaving their families is harder on our men than we think...  Awesome layout.

just the photo would have been "sweet', but add in the rest of the picture with your writing and it's a lump-in-the-throat creation-- a time and place of what you are experiencing as a family that you wonderfully captured.
