And it's not just military, first responders, firefighters, paramedics, law enforcement, military, but even families that have these long seasons of separation, sports teams, athletes, ministry, pastors, trauma can show up anywhere.

And so During my deployment, we lost our spiritual family.

Some things happened at the church, and that kind of fell apart in the very season that we needed them most.

So the post-deployment piece was one part of it, but during the 12 months in Iraq, things unraveled back home, and our marriage paid the cost.

And I don't think that's shared enough that somebody's paying the cost even if you don't know it.

And so I got back from Iraq right around Christmas time.

So, you know.
