C+D’s homecoming was only my second OpLove session and couldn’t have been more different than my first. The first was a big event at the Navy base and we were welcoming home several dozen of Marines. D’s homecoming was a more humble, but just as emotional affair. Instead of being welcomed home by a hundred people, he was welcomed home by his lovely wife and two close friends at the Norfolk International Airport. It was all of the anticipation and excitement condensed into an intimate affair….in the middle of an airport. =)
C was so cute in her nervousness! She had seen D only once in his 6 month deployment, as she was able to visit him at the base in Cuba. She realized shortly before the plane came in that she’d been wearing the same color when she last saw him! Coral might have a whole new emotional association for her from now on. =)
While this homecoming was short, it was definitely just as sweet to see the look on C’s face when she first caught sight of D walking out of the gate. The sweet relief on both of their faces was amazing. When holding his wife again, D appeared to be fully at peace with the world. It was a beautiful moment.
Thanks so much for allowing me to tag along on your special day, C+D! I had a great time and was so happy to be able to capture this sweet moment for you.
