As we launch into the Christmas Season bursting with Black Friday and Cyber Monday sales, we often hear words like “Remember the Reason for the Season.” A few weeks ago, my daughter, Laura, as she said, “felt like writing,” sent me what she had been silently wrestling with, the struggle within. With her permission, I’m passing this along to you hoping it will encourage, strengthen, and help you to “tighten your bootstraps” as we trudge along together and…remember.
Merry Christmas everyone.
With love,
Kimberly

A smooth sea never made a skilled sailor.
Nearly two years ago, with tear-stained cheeks, I kissed my husband goodbye at the Nashville International Airport, sending him off to boot camp with a contract to begin Navy Seal training upon boot camp completion. In short, that meant two months of limited communication and at least six months of here and there visits, and a lifetime of uncertainty.
