Well its been almost a year since my daughter joined up and what a year its been.
She met, and fell in love, with a fellow student at A school and they got married. My daughter is pregnant with our first grandchild and the Navy has been fantastic with all the care and support. Yes, they take care of their own.
Right now, my new son in law has received orders that will take him away form my daughter for the short term, but they will reunite after the birth in February. In the meantime, she will be taking leave to come and visit us for 3 weeks and then my wife will be going back with her to provide motherly support and be there when the time comes.
Today I received a text for her with a picture of the new house they will be living in for now and that she has been chosen to work on the CMC's staff, so all is good.
Didn't expect to be a grandfather so soon, but now that it's sunk in, I am as excited as a young boy on Christmas morning.
