A Homecoming event like none before. On this very special episode, which takes place over the span of nearly 1 year, we follow the Lyons family through a 9 month deployment. After a heartfelt kiss goodbye, we see Kate Lyons taking on all the roles of both mother and father to her 2 young daughters. In addition to tackling the everyday chores typically attended to by her husband she strives to maintain a feeling of “normal life” for her children. A daily bead jar tracks the days of Ricky’s absence and preparations and anticipation lead to a celebrated homecoming like no other for the Lyons family.
