What does it mean to you to be a military mom?

as submitted by Ginny 

Well before I became a military Mom I had been a military wife for 22 years until my husband retired from the US Army.  I thought being a wife was difficult, but nothing compares to being a military mom.  As a wife we can travel and live most places with our husbands.  We can be with them and share life with each other. 
 
When my son enlisted during this time of war, my heart felt things it had never felt before.  I felt sadness, pride, worry, fear...  I felt courage that I received from my son.  I got comfort from my husband from his experience.  Watching my son walk away from us at the airport, for the very first time, I felt my heart ache like never before. He turned to give us one last wave and then I watched him until he was out of my sight and I felt such loneliness..  That night I sat in his room and cried..
 
I am so proud of my son and his bravery.  I display everything there is to display to show my son is serving.. I miss him greatly and the worry never goes away, but I pray that God will keep him safe a secure always..  I look forward to him coming home for good....
