This is such a great story. I remember reading it once before, but I liked it even more after the second read. When do you head out for your sprint travels? Any chance you'll be passing through Flagstaff?
I loved reading this! Both my boys are Marines-- one stationed at CP and the other currently in schoolhouse at 29. I've done that drive and, mindful of my own kids, flying by the seat of their pants trying to get to base or the airport--I always look out for the high-fade kids toting seabags.
You may have been repaying a karmic debt but I'm sure Asley's mom, Steven, and others are grateful and touched by your kindness.

Thanks Cherie...heading out in a couple of weeks, and unfortunately won't be passing through Flagstaff.
Safe travels! I'm hoping to get down to Tucson this fall, maybe we can connect then.
Thanks Cherie, let’s keep in touch!
