All Hands: A Story of Moving and Military Families

It’s time for the Weaver family to move. They’ve been stationed at the Navy base in Mississippi for a little over two years and have been fully expecting to be transferred to a new base somewhere else in the country. This is normal for the Weavers, but it doesn’t change the fact that it is difficult — especially for eight-year-old Derrick, who faces the prospect of saying goodbye to his best friend Bobby. Moving is always difficult, but for the Weavers, it has the unique challenges that are familiar to all military families.

This story is helpful for families who have to move a lot — especially for military families.
