I had the most amazing trip to Washington D.C. It was much more than I ever would have imagined. I joined the Marine Parents United conference and we spent three days touring before the conference began on Friday evening. There is so much to share but I will begin with the greatest part and that is friends. For the past four years I have attended the conference and each year I reconnect with great friends, special because we share a common love for our Marines. This year is was great to reconnect, share and renew our friendships. But, I also got to meet new Marine parents, share and connect with the newbies. I remember those days of a total focus of where my Marine was, who he was with and fear for his safety. Being with these parents makes me so much more aware of how precious life is and how important we are to each other.
