Reader beware: this one is a bit of a tearjerker. You see, Danielle reached out to me a few days before her husband, 1LT Derek Davis came home to Fort Carson, Colorado from his tour of duty overseas. I was absolutely honored to be there to document it, not only to watch 5 year old Grace see her daddy again, but it was also Derek’s first time meeting 5-month-old Bryce! It was pretty emotional to be there – Grace was so stoic, so excited … and when she spotted her daddy standing in the very front row, right in front of us – it took everything in her not to run out there before that “Dismissed!” order was given. But once it was … well … you’ll see. Insert ugly cry here. <3
Welcome home, 1Lt Davis and congratulations to Danielle, Grace and Bryce on Derek’s first deployment being over!
I can even express how beautiful these are…you can just feel the emotion written all over their faces. Especially the daughter. It just shows you how much these families sacrifice for ALL of us. <3
