The Dandelion represents a military child, it represents the journey we experience, but there is something not everyone sees in a dandelion, pain. There are some benefits, like meeting new people and making new relationships, but when your best friend moves away… it feels like millions of tiny needles in your heart. It always feels nice when you come home from school and say, “I made a new friend today.” That is the best part of being a military child, making long lasting relationships. But the worst part is when your best friend shows up at 5:00 pm on your doorstep and says the words a military child hears way too many times for them to handle, “I am moving sooner than expected.”
