This week has been a time of reflection of the events that happened after Curtis' death and leading up to the funeral. Some, of course, are sad and difficult, but one display of support stands out. The young ladies that traveled here from Kaneohe Bay, Hawaii to support their friend, Katie.
Throughout their husbands deployment, these woman banded together to laugh, cry and support each other. Like any time of stress, there was also a bit of drama involved, and I would at times be an ear for Katie to vent. But overall they were each others rocks.
The week following Curtis' death, they started showing up at our house to show their support. I wondered what was going through their minds. What strong woman to be able to be here, when this could easily be them in this position, and at the same time their husbands were still in Afghanistan fighting. They were wonderful to have around, the stories they could tell, the help they wanted to lend, no wonder some of our finest young men wanted them for their wives. I'm not sure who started it, but to us they became the 'Housewives of K-Bay' What they had gone through is certainly fitting for reality TV.
Thank you Kelsey, Kelly, Leah, Veronica and any of the other housewives here in spirit, I love you all. You are some of the strongest young ladies I know.
