My BIL is in the Coast Guard and left for a 6 month tour today, meaning he will miss the birth of his first child. I've been thinking about him and his wife today and decided to scrap this picture taken of them last month as a tribute of thanks to them both for the sacrifice they are making. I went through a similar circumstance when my DH left for Iraq right after Liz was born and it is definately something I wouldn't want to go through again. TFL and please keep them in your prayers!
