If you have ever had a loved-one who is in any way affiliated with the United States military, then you will understand and appreciate the messages within this book. "Where Were You?" represents a child's thoughts and feelings regarding the many milestones and meaningful events in his or her life that a loved-one was not able to share. "A Parent's Lament" is the parent or guardian's heartfelt reasoning and justification for the inability to be present to witness those milestones. The intention of this book is to bring to light the inner most thoughts and feelings of a child and a military family member who are separated from each other for any length of time. It summarizes both points of view.
