Of course, tomorrow would be a hard day, but that could wait. Today should be enjoyed.
Life in the military is hard, especially during deployments. It is hard to find happiness and pleasures in normal family celebrations and milestones knowing that one very special person is not there to witness them. Join one military family stationed in Hawaii as they learn that every day is precious while their Dad is deployed.
Inspired by her personal experiences, author, Sena Nelson, wanted to tell a story that is familiar to all military families. Set in the beautiful landscape of Hawaii, Today Should Be Enjoyed, reminds us all that we should enjoy every day, even those days when we feel like the world is against us and we miss the ones we love the most.
