Have you ever had a happy reunion before? Well… I’ll tell you when I had a happy reunion.

“Creek”—someone opened the door. “Oh, Mom doesn't come home for another hour… at least she came early!” I walked in to give her a big hug, but it wasn't Mom. It was my dad! He came back from deployment. I gave him a big, big hug!

After that, my mom came home, and she also gave my dad a big hug, and we all went to dinner together.

Like this, being a military child can sometimes mean saying goodbye to parents, but on a positive note, you can look forward to a happy reunion. Being a military child is sometimes hard, but there is some fun stuff that is good—like learning new languages and eating new foods!
