Sunday night was a pretty exciting night amongst our family. My cousin Josh took part in a TV series called In Their Footsteps which aired on Channel 9. Josh's Grandfather and Great Grandfather both fought in Gallipoli at the same time and Josh's Dad Brian was in the Navy during the Vietnam War too.
It's hard to comment about the episode without giving too much away but it really is a fantastic historical and emotional story between the last 4 generations of the Cavalier family and their war experiences. I sobbed and laughed and truly loved watching this; seeing Josh, his beautiful wife Em, my amazing Aunt Melynda and Josh's Dad Brian all going through this unbelievable experience and learning so much about their history.
This show was made all the more emotional with Josh and Em finding out that they are expecting their first baby just before Josh left for filming. During the show the local historian made a comment about there being a long line of fractured relationships between fathers and sons in the Cavalier family [as in from 1560's to now]. I'm more than confident that Josh will be the one to break that cycle for good. That's the kinda guy he is.
If you have some time I really recommend you watch the episode. It's great TV even if you're not related to the star of the show!
