What does it mean to you to be a military wife? As submitted by Jennifer
Being a military spouse means that life stands
still when the commander speaks at an FRG meeting. Being a military
wife means rumors become not just an annoyance but a form of
subconscious truth and change. Being a military wife means being the
man when the man can't be. It means being a Daddy, a Mommy, and a
friend. It means helping your children understand that the man who
comes and goes so often is not just a friend or a lover, but a
father and a husband. He doesn't just get angry and quiet, but he
cries and laughs. The sacrifices of a military family are endless,
and only understood (in the truest for of the word) by those that
are in the same position. The worries are uninterrupted. The changes
are the only constant thing you have in your life.....except for the
love. The LOVE proves it's strength time and time again. It reaches
across deserts, it floats over bullets. It seeps out of packages and
transmits over telephones. It acts as the glue that keeps the
frustrated wife hanging on. It is the only reason, sometimes, for
waiting so long. It connects those few that share common ground. It
allows that fleeting glimpse of happiness, that light in all of the
darkness....the light that is possible because of the women
involved, the children involved, the men involved. The light that is
possible because of us, military wives.
