A Small Thank You
![]()
At the begginning part of this year, my husband was deployed, and I was facing my first deployment and time away from him. During the deployment you really look around at everything in your life and see how precious things are. You also come to see how lucky you are to have the family you do. Alot of my friends and co-workers do not seem to understand what that feeling of missing a call from a loved one is like, writing letters everyday, and just the everyday “I miss you’s” that are so hard to get through sometimes. I knew that I could always count on my family for eveyrthing and anything whether it be support or “just because” cards in the mail box. What I didn’t realize is the strong support of the wives, mothers, girlfriends, and sisters that were in the same boat I was….no pun-intended. Because I was given the previlage to become close with so many of them, I found Sgt. Grit. In finding you, I was able to show off how proud I was of my Marine, and all the Marines out there, and SHOP! 🙂 My Aunt is in the chocolate business and when I flipped to the page of the Marine Emblem chocolate mold, I didn’t waste a minute in ordering it. I gave it to her and she was thrilled. I kept bugging her asking her when she was going to make them. She would always respond saying, “for a special occasion.”
Few months passed by and we were so happy we all had a safe homecoming for our loved ones. We flew out of town to see our family. We had a large dinner party with friends and family celebrating his safe homecoming. As dinner had finished, desert was brought to the table. As you probably guessed the beautiful Marine Embelm truffles were laid out on the plate for everyone to enjoy.
Thank you for bringing a very happy moment to my family and I and being there for all of us out there when sometimes you just don’t think you can get through it.
Love & Thanks-
