It took our breath away
Thank you all again for the amazing celebration for Daniel Sunday. It took our breath away. Daniel is quite a
reserved person so it was awesome to see so much excitement in his eyes as well as his attending family. With tears
in all our eyes and a tremble in our hugs, goodbye at the airport as he began his 36 hour trip back to Afghanistan
this morning, he told us that it was the coolest thing anyone has ever done for him. The next seven months will pass
slowly as his is missed so much. He took a little piece of our heart and our prayers with him. It was a long ride
home from the airport with wet-eyes. Hats off to Laurie and Richard at Pier 57 for telling me about Matagorda County
Cavalry and for hosting the event!
