Losing A Bit of Weight
I was trying to balance caring for a toddler and working a full-time job, while my Navy husband was on extended duty in a different country. One evening, the doorbell ring and it’s my neighbor, a retired chief petty officer. He was holding a breadboard loaded with a freshly cooked chicken and vegetable stew. He said, “I’ve noticed you’re getting a little skinny.” It was the best meal I’d had in a long time. It really is true what they say about how members of the military look out for one another.
