Military families tend to move every year and a half to three years and sometimes it can feel you have just settled into one place before it is time to start packing and planning to live somewhere else. Just passing through.
Three friends of ours — a Coast Guard family — moved recently from Singapore to Missouri. Already about a quarter of the people in our neighborhood never met them. Memories and friendships do not fade so much as get scattered across the globe.
Still, it was a little surprising to find them enshrined at our local Starbucks even though I knew it was Karin’s mini-vacation spot in Singapore.
