The ones forgotten

Today is Military Spouse Appreciation Day~ A day to thank all of the spouses that fight the wars here at home with their kids and everyday life. There are many days that they don't know if they can make it through...but their strength always prevails. Just like every day I am grateful for you, it is because of you that our military personnel have the strength to do their jobs with peace of mind that you are doing yours on the homefront.

 My best friend is a Military Wife. ( A GREAT MILITARY WIFE ) She always supports him, and does what she needs to do at home with full force and no hesitation. She is amazing. 

I wanted to take the time to THANK all of the military families for what they have to endure in order for their loved one to fight for my family's safety and freedom. I know that you have heard me say it before, but I don't think that I say it enough. SO thank your military families and appreciate the fact that YOUR husband is sitting at the dinner table even though he pissed you off earlier...he is safe and you aren't going to be up all night worrying. 

"Some people wonder how I do it,
Why I wait for this man.
Because Im proud of what he does,
I love him because I can.

This "Toughest Job" they speak of,
I volunteerd for it.
I promised I would support him,
He knows I'll never quit.

Camoflauge from head to toe,
He's my hero through and through.
Standing there so tall and proud,
I love my soldier, it's true.

While he's gone, the days grow long,
The nights are even longer.
I try to tell myself everyday,
This distance will make us stronger.

It matters not how far he is,
Nor how long he is gone.
He knows Im waiting with open arms,
Here for him when he comes home.

But for now I patiently wait,
I take it a day at a time.
No matter what I know it's worth it,
Because I can call that soldier Mine."
