Picture It

Post #4 for the Wives of Faith blog carnival. Visit wivesoffaith.org.

This picture is neither unique nor artistic. And all of you in the military will recognize it. There is no other image (from our married life) that speaks the volumes that this picture does. This very moment was the distinct and abrupt beginning of our new chapter of life. The feelings that accompany this picture are too complex and weighted to share here in a short blog post, but those that attended a similar ceremony that this picture depicts will know exactly what I am talking about.  Hope, optimism, devastation (because DH was leaving), pride, uncertainty, many more.
