The Air Force Parent Pin

Not too long ago I thought I'd lost my Parent Pin.  I normally keep it in a bowl and I always put it on right before I leave the house. 

I looked in the bowl and it was not there.  A momentary panic set in.  Where was it?  Did I lose it?  Did someone come in during the dark of the night and take it?  The pin was very special to me because my Airman son gave it to me during his BMT graduation weekend and I've worn it every day since.

I looked through my purse.  No pin.  I looked on the end table.  No pin.  I looked where I keep my earrings.  No pin.  Where was my Parent Pin?  I then looked everywhere I had just looked a second time.  No pin.

Finally I went to the dirty clothes hamper and started looking through my work clothes.  No pin in my pants pocket.  I pulled out the shirt I had worn the day before and on the lapel of my shirt.  ::sigh::   I found my pin.  I pinned it on my jacket and headed out the door.

And as I always do when I touch the pin it reminds me to pray not only for my son but all who are serving. 

Thank you again to all who are serving and those that are supporting them!  I am grateful.
