day 93: left behind

Military 30-day Photo Challenge Day 17: Post a pic of something of your Marine's that he left behind for you to remember him every day during his deployment

He left three of them with me, actually. And they have their own ways of making me think of him. Mini-me's, you could say, to steal the term from Austin Powers himself.

Even though I didn't know ASC when he was a child, I've heard the stories....enough to understand the times when I simply need to shake my head and not have wonder why my offspring are acting that way. It's amazing how our kids are born with so much of us in them. Poor things :)
