Our hero

Daddy's been gone now over 2 weeks, the longest all of us have ever been away from each other.  He has been working extremely hard, giving all of his time and energy, cleaning up after Sandy.  And he deals with all kinds of people, the ones who are appreciative and the ones who just aren't.  (We call them names in our house, you can call them what you want:)  So, when they receive thank you letters from the "good" ones, it warms my heart.  And I got to share it with Maddie, which helps her understand what her Daddy is doing and how important he is.  They started in New Hampshire and they received a letter from a family there that they had helped...A few things that were said were "We were and are completely blown away by these amazing men...We are so grateful for the time, effort and genuine good attitude shown by the crew" (Which they named) "and as they drove away 12 hours later, we felt like we had lost our best friend's..."  And this family included many pictures of them and their name etc.  That was awesome...

When I read that letter to Maddie, a great sense of pride washed over me.  My husband (and his crew) are completely self-less and dedicated men who have given up their lives and times with their families to help out others.  And that is one of the many reasons we love him so much!!  We hope he can come home soon because we miss him A LOT!!!!!!
