To Love A Soldier

To love a soldier is to me the toughest job there is. You have to be strong at all time. Preparing for schools , Training Camps, and Deployments. It's a non stop roller coaster ride. The time you are able to break down is when your alone because you don't want to worry him. You wake up every morning next to him, Knowing it's another day of him wearing the uniform that he is so proud of. Of course I'm very proud also. But there are days when you want to look at him and say " please don't put it on, I just want you to be my normal husband and for us to be a normal family for one day.
See that's the thing with military families we are not your everyday normal families. We are always making sacrifices in one way or the other, I like the fact that the Military calls us the Silent Ranks because that's what we are, we vent , get mad an no one hears us. I depend on my family to help me get Thur like many other military spouses do. But what about the ones who have no one. Those women and men are the true silent ones. My heart goes out to them and I support them 200%.
Ever since my husband decided that this was to be his career. I also jumped at the chance without really knowing the sacrifices I was in for. It's been a long and hard road to go down. An believe me when I say I wouldn't change it. I'm very proud of him and the job he does. He's my rock and I am his.
If I had to give advice to someone who's new to the military life it would be to take it one day at a time and always expect the unexpected. Never make plan to far ahead, Because they always change. An last, Love your soldier more everyday...
