I remember the feeling I got when I came back and saw my hometown's streets after months of deployment. It felt like returning to a better place, and the sunshine on my face never felt better.

There is truly nothing like the feeling of being home.

Ain't no place like home...

Seeing your family after being apart for so long is just a different kind of joy

It's almost surreal to walk into my own home and sleep in my own bed. Almost feels like I just came back from an entirely separate life

My favorite part of being deployed was always coming back home to my mom cooking all my favorite dishes for a week straight

It sure was strange though, not having anything to do for hours at a time every day, kind of left me wondering what happens now.

There's nothing quite as satisfying as a job well done. My first time coming home was a really big deal, my parents were thrilled to see that I was doing something with my life and I'd never really gotten that reaction from them before.

I miss home so much. Right about now the leaves are starting to change color and stores are probably selling those cinnamon-scented pinecones like they always do in the fall, kids are going to corn mazes and pumpkin patches. Yeah. Happy memories for me
