One of my first clients with Your Yeoman was a total sweetheart and he loves his wife!  I asked him a few months back if he would help me with a story to describe how he found Your Yeoman and what we had done for him and his family.  We both discovered it was very easy to write about what we love .  Enjoy!

View From a Soldier

I thought I planned everything out.  I know that plans can change being in the military, but we took a chance and decided it was time to have a baby.  My wife was six months pregnant when I received notice that I was deploying again in the next three weeks.

“How am I going to tell my wife?”

Then I realize that I am going to miss the birth of our first child.  My first son.  I couldn’t bare the thought of her going thru this without me.  Being there for her, holding her hand and seeing her face when she sees him for the first time.

“How am I going to tell my wife?”

I tell her what has happened in the most reassuring voice that I can and she calmly tells me it will be ok and she can do this.  She knows I am upset and you can see she is staying strong and trying not to cry.  She does anyway.  We cry together.

“What am I going to do?  I have to do something, but what?”

Three months later a beautiful Soldier boy is born and his mother had no idea that his father had figured out the perfect thing to do.  On that Rainey day the solider boy was born, I had the pleasure of meeting the Soldier’s wife and newborn son that I had been hearing so much about.  With me I brought a video that her husband and I had recorded before he left telling his wife that he is so proud of her and that she is the most amazing woman he could ever know!  She cried.  I then gave her a small box containing a beautiful necklace that said #1 Mom.  She cried some more.  After the Soldiers wife stopped crying I still had one more surprise to give her.  I felt bad making her cry so much, but they were happy tears. The Solider had recorded a different video for each day that he is gone for his newborn son to watch and listen to until he returns home and holds him for the first time.

This time, we both cried.
