For all my hardheadedness, my OCD, my pms, everything. He loves me. We tolerate and compliment one another. This man fights for my freedom, my children’s freedom and future, as well as, yours; a sacrifice of his life for ours. It takes work, patience, love, understanding, and on occasion walking away, cooling down, and coming back to the problem later. Marriage is about growth between the two of you—if you don’t grow together then you grow apart and that’s the end of it. It’s a give and take. I told friends this week, sometimes you have to do or understand things you don’t want to. This previous deployment that he just got back from taught me a lot. One that I need him, two, that while we argue what he thinks and says still has a major role in my everyday life, and three I am more proud of my AIRMAN than ever.
Life teaches you something new everyday: you just have to be willing and alert and ready to accept what comes your way. And as I write this I sit hear listening to Anthony Hamilton, Dear Life. A great song. “Hold on dear life, don’t go off running from whets new.” This is my life and I wouldn’t give it back for anything. God has blessed me with two beautiful children, a loving husband, certain great friends that are family, and with a very loving family. In this life of friends, love, and the military, I am happy. Thanks to God for that. We will see what our future holds as we get ready to re-enlist and he gets ready to leave for another year or so. We will make it. I have faith. Good night everyone.
