I curious about your avatar "England." I mention this because book 3 in my series is about an exchange officer program with the Royal Navy.

To see that it's not the Commanding Officer who disembarks first or any other senior officer - unless he's a new dad. Sometimes rank has its privilege - and sometimes it doesn't. And you're so right about being true and honest. I always say "Trust" it my favorite "Love" word. Without it, no relationship can flourish. Parents and kids, lovers, friends, colleagues, whoever.

To think that those dads have never seen or held their babies before, makes me cry every time. And then I cry for how strong those women are to go through much of their pregnancies and deliveries without their husbands at their sides. Spouses and children are the unsung heroes of the military. (I love that dads get to watch deliveries on Skype these days!)
