I am so grateful for you. I am grateful for the time you sacrifice, the comfort of your home and family you sacrifice, and most importantly, those who end up having to sacrifice their lives. You all amaze me. I am going to admit something ugly about myself right now- when J and I first started to get serious I told him that I wouldn’t ever want him to go into the military. I selfishly wanted him here with me, always. How horrible am I?! So many wives and husbands out there every.day. are longing for their loved ones to come home. Moms and dads praying that their sons and daughters make it back safely. To those who serve {have served} and to those who have family members that do, you are my hero.
I posted this back in 2011, and simply copied it. Why? Because those are the same words I would have written today. You all are still my heroes. Thank you.
