Not Just Another Army Wife

I'm sure everyone hears army wife and they automatically compare us to the television show. In all reality we are nothing like that. Our life is so much more complicated. You will never see us bust into special forces demanding to see our husband or you'll never see us, " buddy buddy" with the Generals Wife. Our life is so much more complex than that.  We are what they are called the Silent Rank. Our husbands are our rocks, but it takes a great wife for our husbands to be able to leave knowing that everything is taking care of at home.  It drives me crazy to see people who have no clue about our style of living to judge so strongly.  We as army wives stick together. We have our clicks just like any other person, but we always help each other in need.  It kills me to see my husband leave for a year at a time but the joy of reconnecting when he's comes back it out of this world.  They say that distance makes the heart grow fonder.  Deployments are SO hard on a marriage as well as the rest of the family.  We just have to suck it up and make the best of it. It's ok to cry and its ok to get mad as long as you know in the end everything is going to be ok.   Life of an army wife is not easy, but who said life was?
