As a father that juggles a very weird work schedule and misses a few family obligations along the way I can still only guess what a soldier's life is like when separated from their families for months at a time. T.F.M. reader Matthew DeLorenzo was recently reunited with his son and sent along this image for the T.F.M. Spotting Photo Contest.

home from Afghanistan but unlike most other soldiers I did not get to go
directly home. I hurt my knee while I was there so they sent me
straight to a rehab center in the states. On my first pass days I went
to visit my son but he was shy and nervous so it was good too see him
but it didn't go as planned. Strangely though, after I left, his mom told
me that all the next week he was asking "Where's daddy?" Needless to say
I hauled ass back there and we had such a great reunion. I was looking
back through my pictures today after I got back and I realized I was
wearing my favorite new T.F.M. shirt and thought I would share. Keep up the
good work."
Glad that you are home safe and sound. Enjoy the time with your son and hope your rehabilitation goes well too.
