I am a Navy Daughter

I am a Navy Daughter. My hometown is nowhere, my friends are everywhere, and if I haven't been someplace yesterday, I am sure to go there tomorrow. Mobility is my way of life. I have found security and happiness in every place around the world. Like all Navy dependents, I can say "Hello," "Good-bye," and count to 7 in & 6 languages. I can tell those places: Yokosuka - Japan, Toulon - France, Rostock - Germany, Rotterdam - Netherlands for my memories span the globe. Travel has taught me to be open. By age 3 I had seen more of the world than most people do in a lifetime. I had touched many and allowed their cultures to touch me. Shaking hands with the universe, I found a brotherhood in all men. Just as there is joy in meeting, so is there pain in parting and although practice makes perfect, there is no way to perfect "Good-bye." Farewells are never easy. Yet, even in sorrow comes strength and an ability to face tomorrow with anticipation. And if when I leave one place I feel that half my world has been left behind, I also know that the other half is still waiting to be met. As a Navy Daughter, I go out to others extending hand and heart. Friendships are formed in hours and kept for decades. I will never grow up with someone, but I will mature with many, and the help that I offer today will be returned farther down the road. Be it inevitable that paths part, there is constant hope that they will meet again. I feel fortunate to live in a society of tradition drawing from the past to enhance the present - where silver baby cups announce life, horse-drawn caissons pronounce death and the living in between is dedicated to the service of God, man and our nation. Love of country, as I stand to honor the Indonesia flag, so also do I stand to honor all soldiers, most especially to the man whose life created mine - my father. Because of him I have shared in the rich heritage of Navy life. Now, as a Navy wife and mother, I have passed on that legacy to my kids. I wish for them a wealth of experiences and knowledge and love, so that their lives will be blessed as mine, and I pray that one day they will join me in boasting, "I am a Navy Daughter!"

The Right Brush

Image
        Toothbrushes now come in all shapes and sizes with some powered by battery. You should choose soft nylon bristles that are long-lasting and will not hurt your gums.
