Get your tissues out for this one! This is the story of baby Brady and how he waited his "whole"
life to meet his daddy. Amberly a very proud momma has shared this wonderful story! "My husband, LCpl Jonathan, deployed to
Afghanistan when I was 33 weeks pregnant with our second child, his
first son. Brady was born 6 weeks (April 20) after my husband left, and
waited four months to officially meet his father in person. We also
have a daughter, Anabelle (3), who was a big helper while daddy was "at
work" for a really long time. Brady and Tyler (Jonathan) finally met
one another August 2012. It was not the easiest giving birth while
my husband was deployed, but it was an experience that I will never
forget and one that we can tell our son about in a few years. Now that
Brady has met his daddy, he is his favorite person in the world. My son
is now 8 months old
and very happy and quite amazing.
My advice/words of wisdom to military wives/mommies going through
similar situations would to of course try and keep busy to keep your
mind from running terrifying thoughts, take as many pictures/videos
as possible because even though your husband cannot be there he can
still see all the changes and new steps from the pictures and videos. Last but not least, find a great support system within friends who are
also part of the military experience. Family is wonderful, but if they
are anything like mine they have no clue what struggle you are going
through, and another military wife knows just how you feel and will be
by your side helping you fight the battles at home while your best
friend is fighting for you over seas." Thank you to Amberly for sharing your personal photos.
