Who we are

Who are we? We are strong, capable, and emotional people. We are the ones you pass by each day and don't even realize what we are going thru but we keep on going without our better halves. We keep the "home fires burning" so to speak. We are the ones that not only run the household, pay the bills, deal with repair people, deal with schools, hope and pray for a quick phone call, IM or an e-mail just to let us know you are alright, then we are also the ones who go to bed at night safely because of our significant others but at the same time we also cry ourselves to sleep, cry when we see soldier, cry when we hear a song and then we wipe our eyes and go on. WE do all of this because we are so proud of who we are spending our lives with. No one could know the pride we feel when anyone mentions the names of our loved ones.



Who are we? We are the backbone that have shoulders of strength and can take on more than you can imagine. Most of us have left our families behind because nothing will keep us from spending every moment we can with the ones we love because we all know that time is short and we don't want to miss a moment of anything. Yes we know we choose this life and we know what it comes with too and we are content to do whatever we have to for our loved ones. We know we will miss important dates "back home" and we hope and pray everyone will understand but we also know we have new family wherever we may be. We are there for one another rather it be a shoulder to lean on, someone to vent to, someone to share a dinner with or to celebrate those special days that our loved ones can't. We all stick together and Heaven help you if you makes us mad or upset or say the wrong thing to us.



So who are we? We are the military significant others who can do anything and will do anything for our loved ones. Some of us wear our pride on our shirts, put the stickers on our cars and probably upset some when walk by with our shirts on or you see our stickers on our cars. We may not clean our house or garden in high heels and go to lunches all the time but we are here and we are STRONG.
