A Smile on Her Face..

Breanna is smiling, and laughing!! In the last week, she has finally started acting like her old self. THANK YOU GOD!

Life is getting better for my girl, she has a new job, coworkers that make her laugh and possibilities of a new future. This morning, dressed in her Lifeguard swim suit, she left for a day at the pools. LTC classes this morning and then the afternoon spent at a gorgeous pool with fun people, basking in the warm sun watching people have fun.

Last night it dawned on me. We were sitting there watching 2 teams of total strangers to us playing college baseball, in a crowd of 5000 and she was having fun!

At the ballgame they had a tribute to military personnel and she cried, stood there and cried... I think it was a pressure release. I am so proud of the way she has withstood the humiliation, degradation and feeling of failure that the good old USAF instilled in her while she was at Lackland. They succeeded in destroying her pride, her self confidence and her self worth. Damn them!

Thanks to God for helping her get Breanna back.

When she left for work this morning, I realized that she is back. She is smiling, laughing, talking about work. Thinking about maybe going to college this fall, not giving up on the Navy by any means, but realizing that there is still a future out there for her.

I LOVE this kid! And I am SO proud of her strength!
