About a year ago, two sisters ______ at a
local Virginia Beach tea shop on a beautiful summer
afternoon sipping delicious bubble tea, sharing
laughs and enjoying each other's company, unsure of
when they might see each other again. Both sisters
______the Navy in January 2014, leaving for basic
training only two weeks apart. Since then, they
______assigned to different duty stations, making it
difficult to find time to see each other.
