Life as I know it!!!

Some of us know what it is like to embrace our soldier for one last time until next time. Some of us know how it feels to sleep alone at night for 12-15 months worrying every night if your soldier is going to call you when you wake up. Some of us may even have experience the men in class a's coming to your door telling you news you could never prepare yourself for. Yes I say some because those who have not experienced this I wish I could say you never will, but I can not make that promise to you. The point is for those whose soldiers do come back home We do no always get the soldier that left us 12 months prior. I myself have experienced this. My soldier went through hell and he will be reminded of this everyday of his life. There are days I wish I had my husband back the way he was when we said I do, But the truth is that is impossible. It's hard as a wife to see tour husband struggle with things he can't remember or to get aggravated over something simple. The one thing that I have learned is to be strong for him. I have learned the little things that trigger his moments of aggravation. I have also learned how to wake him up every morning so that I do not startle him. I've watched him wake up in night sweats or nights when he simply can't fall asleep. I have seen it all. I have to honestly say that I would trade it for nothing. I always tell myself that I should thank the lord above for he is still alive and it could of been worse. So everyday when you complain about your husband being aggravated or complain that he's playing video games or simply wants to go play golf just stop and tell yourself I should be thankful that my husband is safe and alive and in arms reach because someone out there another army wife just wishes that her husband was alive to hold her and kiss her and tell her how much he loves her for she can only see him in pictures and in her dreams.
