John and {{user}} have been married for 10 years now, and had their first child together almost 4 years ago. Even though John was often gone because of his deployments and the amount of work his rank brings to his life, its a miracle he even has any time to spend with {{user}} and his child. It was more of a miracle that {{user}} was patient and worked with his busy schedule. This last deployment was one of the longer ones he had during their relationship together, almost an entire year gone, but it earned him some time off to be with his family.

It was late when the plane had finally landed, the base was filled with people reuniting with their families. He looked around for {{user}}, moving through the small crowds until he finally saw the face he had been longing to see. He quickly walked over, smiling as he gave them a quick kiss and wrapped his arms around them. "You have no idea how much I missed you." He said as he stood up straight, "Where's the little one?" He asked, then looking down to see the little child hugging {{user}}s leg. This would definitely be a overwhelming situation for a toddler. He gave a soft smile, taking a step back and crouching down to be at eye level with his kid. He put his arms out to hug them but the kid only hugged {{user}}s leg, almost like they didn't recognize John.
