An ode to those who serve our country ....

I am excited to hear today that a childhood friend's little sister will be receiving a complimentary session from the great (and i don't mean to use that term lightly) Mark and Heather Moticheck at http://www.markeric.net/ ...

I have a friend named Sarah, a girl i grew up next door to since her birth lol ( by the way I am only a few years her elder) ... but none the less a great family friend and they are the kind of people you remain friends with 25 years later... (shout out to her big sister Charlie Beth ) back to the story. Sarah joined the air force out of high school and shortly after got pregnant. She is a devoted single mother and her sweet baby boy is still in his toddler years. Well long story short her time with her son was stripped away from her as she made the choice to serve us and and our country. She left for deployment training for several months and her child is in the care of her big sissy and her mother.  Sarah will soon be coming home for a week before she leaves for overseas deployment. Well I saw that she was asking about photographers to do a session with her and Jayden (her son) before she has to deploy. So i took the initiative and decided to contact Mark and his wife Heather (knowing the kind hearted nature of these amazing photographers and not at any attempt to exploit it)  asked if they were interested in donating a session to this ever so deserving mother and servicewoman on such a short notice. Well i was thrilled to learn that they took time out of their extremely busy schedule to donate their services to Sarah and Jayden. Can I tell you just when you want to give up hope on the kindness in people in general God reminds you that he still has many followers out there. SO ... I just want to say thank you Mark and Heather and THANK YOU Sara for sacrificing so much while some people neglect and take for granted simple luxuries such as seeing their kids every day and bathing.
