Military families face immense challenges each time a loved one is sent abroad. Saying farewell, maybe for the last time, is a painful reality for a lot of families.
The thought of possibly never seeing each other again is a frightening one. While on duty, military personnel have to make life-or-death decisions and keep track of the days until they can return home. Their families also have difficulties, managing day-to-day challenges without the support of a close one. Even with modern techniques like video calls, staying in contact while serving overseas may still be difficult.
This also happened to US Navy Lt. Michael Lemmons. While he was serving abroad, his wife gave birth to their son. Lemmons told this tale to the other twenty-seven crew members who had not witnessed the birth of their children. When they got back, they could not wait to greet their new family.
In a heartwarming video, Lemmons’s face smiles when he finds his wife waiting for him on the dock. He rushes to her side and finally gets to see his newborn child. She is hugging their adorable little child.
Overcome with emotion, Lemmons bursts out, “He’s perfect.” I am appreciative. He wanted to express his gratitude to his wife for supporting him during the difficult time of giving birth and for keeping the home well-run. He understands the challenges of being a single parent.
When his wife heard his heartfelt comments, she began to cry. She felt valued for everything she had accomplished, even while her spouse was serving the country. Her efforts were obviously significant, even though they weren’t as obvious.
Lemmons and his spouse cradled their infant in their embrace. Their family was complete now, and at last their relationship could heal. Knowing he wouldn’t have this much time to spend at home and that he would soon have to serve again, Lemmons relished spending time with his wife and new kid.
On YouTube, comments were encouraging regarding Lt. Lemmons’s touching reunion.
One reader said, “My husband was aboard the US Bataan when they were deployed for ten and a half months.” About 150 new fathers had been born to them by the time they got back home, and that figure did not include the Marines.
What do you think of the heartfelt reaction this Navy father had when he saw his newborn son?
Candace Cameron Bure does not back down over backlash on ‘inappropriate’ pictures with husband
Candace Cameron Bure has been coming under a lot of scrutiny in the media recently. The actress was recently in the news for her comments about ‘traditional marriage’ that not everyone agreed with.
The actress is now making waves for another reason; a picture she posted with her husband.
Candace Cameron Bure met her husband Valeri Bure in 1994 at a hockey game. And two years later on June 22, 1996, they tied the knot and became husband and wife.
Even though they have been married for over 20 years, the two of them are still very much in love and make sure to keep the spark alive.
The playfulness of their marriage was very obvious from a story Bure posted on Instagram. However, some people mistook the playfulness as ‘inappropriate’ and the actress got a lot of backlash from her audience.
And in the face of backlash, Bure did not back down. She instead doubled down and posted the picture on her feed. She shared two pictures of her and her husband sharing the “sweet and spicy” nature of their relationship. In the second photo, Valerie has an arm around his wife’s shoulder and his hand is resting on her chest.
She was told by fans that the picture was a little too ‘racy’ for her as her stature as a ‘Christian celebrity.’ But the actress had a response for those who were upset. She said, “Sorry if it offended you… I’m actually not sorry,” she said while laughing in a follow-up video shared on her Instagram stories. “I’m glad that we have fun together after so many years.”
She said she was just showing what a “good and healthy marriage” looked like 24 years.
“It makes me laugh because it’s my husband,” she further explained in her follow-up Instagram story video. “He can touch me any time he wants and I hope he does.”
