      Thanks. When I checked the definition for fortitude this just sprang to mind.

        Good to check definition. I’ve had good ideas from this as well.

    Perfect for the prompt, but as a military daughter and wife and soon to be mom I truly love this.

      Thank you. Coming from someone with a military back ground. That really means a lot. Enjoy being a mom. First time dad and I love it – tough, but wouldn’t change a thing.
