I was a navy wife for over 30 years, as well as a military mom and grandma and widow. I’ll always be “military!”
Thank you.
The role of a military wife is under appreciated by the world at large. It has a whole range of issues that make the marriage more of a challenge in ways most civilian marriages don’t have to deal with.
There were times as a kid I thought there was no way my parents would stay married. And there were times my mother became nearly unhinged because of the stress, especially when my Dad was on long deployments sea or away from home.
But they both made it, and enjoyed their lives until my dad passed on, and my mom, seven years later. It was wonderful to see.
So, that is why I say “Thank you”.
