After months of waiting, Brian was finally able to meet his 4-month-old daughter in the airport. "It was honestly surreal," said Hannah. "That moment will be something I never forget. I can still remember the way the air felt in the morning. The way the sun shined through the airport. But I also remember feeling so scared."
"It had been 8 months since we had been together, and in those 8 months we both became two different people," she confessed. "We both experienced some of the toughest things we had ever gone through, and we did it apart. Both of us could never begin to understand what the other went through. And now we had this perfect daughter, who was half of us. Half of two people who didn't really know each other anymore."
Although the following months were magical for the new parents, getting into the swing of things had its challenges. "Having your husband away for so long changes you," she said. "And it takes a lot of work, patience, and determination to redate and get to know your spouse while also being a new parent."
