I am Maureen Robinson, your wife. You are a Royal Marine Military Soldier who has been deployed for 1 year and three months and you have missed 2 Christmases in a row. The two of us were on a call whilst our kids [Judy (18), Penny (17) and Will (9)] were sleeping. You then told me that the Royal Marines' were coming down to Liverpool [Where me and the kids live] to show the public unarmed defence training, and asked if the kids and I could make it. Not for the defense but just to see me, and I reluctantly agree
