Last week quite a few families got to welcome home the other half of their heart as many homecomings took place and sailors were able to hug their loved ones again. But for those families with a service member still deployed, it can be hard to count your blessings when there is still such a gap in your heart. However, for the Polk family, they are choosing to stay positive and stay focused on all the amazing things happening in the future (and there is a LOT of amazing stuff coming up for these guys!).
