I know, I know,this blog post is really late. I have a good excuse though. I've been planning a birthday party in a Galaxy Far, Far Away. It just so happens that the birthday party was for this month's Little Hero.
April is the Month of the Military Child, so what better time for me to feature my own LITTLE HERO!
This is Kadence Abigail and she just turned five this past Monday! As I look back on the past five years I can't help but think about what she has had to endure the past few years...all because she is an Army Brat. Kadence has endured a deployment, has now lived in three different states, had to say good-bye to her puppy( he couldn't fly back from Hawaii because of a heart condition), and said good-bye to the best little friends a girl could have.
We ask so much of our military children and we rarely hear them complain. We need to stop and think about what kind of toll this lifestyle takes on them. When you stop to thank a service member for serving his/her country, take a few minutes and thank their children too! We must remember, we had a choice. We had that choice to join this CrAzY military life. Our children did not.
My Sweet Girl still cries for her friends, misses her puppy and continually ask if her new puppies have to stay in Kansas when we move again. This is a tough life we live. My sweet BuggaLou is this Month's LITTLE HERO for the strength she has shown over the past two years. She faces each situation that is thrown at her with great courage and self-confidence. Next time you are having a hard time with this Military Life, think about your child. How would they handle the situation. There is a lot to be learned from Our Little Hero's!
