The days we were out all day until streetlights said time to go home. A little girl of 5 snuck through the woods, sat on the tarmac hiding by the woods. The Air Force Base was a 5 minute walk. Mom never knew, no one did. They just heard noisy planes. Before fences and guards. Before she understood it wasn't all fun.
The Thunderbirds were in her dreams.

The man on the right in yellow. His name is Tom. A cheerful, fun man. And a miltary pilot, who became a Catapult Officer. The man in green is responsible for maintenance and supplies. Tom is beloved. He's fun, humble, yet makes people laugh and smile. He's also beyond courageous, skilled and talented.

To the things we believed we couldn't do but did. To the challenges that taught us and continue to teach us who we are. To mendingsand meetings, and finding there was only love. To God's grace when we thought we knew better. If God is Creator Source, Within, Everything, Can we know better than He who created us? God teaches us by challenges that create ourselves. Interesting, life is ♥️🙏
