Gratitude For Defence Families
Yesterday was a good day. We ran an Easter Egg Hunt for Defence families in the Western Sydney region. An opportunity to gather families together and show some appreciation for what the Defence member is doing, as well as highlighting the awesome support that their spouses are providing. My wife and kids had a great time hunting Easter eggs, patting alpaca's with awesome haircuts and making new friends. Where there are Defence families, there is plenty of gratitude. Some of the things we ask our members and families to deal with are not normal daily situations. We've got member's posted in the Middle East, South Sudan, Poland and everywhere in between. Being a spouse at home with the kids while your partner is in some of those places, while nerve wracking, provides a sense of pride while stretched. Throwing a few Easter eggs around is a simple thing we can do to show that gratitude, but it's the relationships that are built that makes it worthwhile.
