Here I am worried out of my mind about leaving what I have known for so long. And there are others around me leaving the army because they want to. They have invested so many years and just are ready to move on with things. I am shocked. Thru out the years I have met so many wonderful people whom have gotten out of the army due to family, didn't like it, or because they just want something different in life.
I don't understand investing years of your life and being so close to a goal and then just stopping. Taking the risk of loosing everything. It shocks me.
I have to say though I look at those men and women who are doing this and whom have done it. And what an honor of knowing them. They saccraficed so much to serve our country so that my family and others can be blessed. And then they show just as much courage to decide to change everything to do something else they want. It takes a lot of courage to walk away from the knowing to the unknowing.
I guess I am worried in my own right. But, this morning I sit back and think my gosh I have surrounded myself with such couragious people.
My late husband taught me and left me with such a new look at life. Although, he was ripped from us so young. He was one of those not scared of almost anything. He had that bring it on mentality.
And my husband now he has that. Maybe that is what the army has taught those whom serve. That nothing in life is worthe being a chicken over. Face your challenges with your head up and a look of things with pride.
My husband now has really worked hard to make me his wife feel safe. He knows what I have been thru in life. And although he can not fully understand he does make me feel as though I faced things that most my age won't have to face later in life. And I was ok and so are my children. I feel just as blessed to have him. SHHSHHH though don't tell him. LOL I still gotta get that upper hand haha.
But, I truly wish that to all of the army wives and to the military members that have served and are serving. That they realize how blessed they have made this one normal just anyday woman feel knowing them. What an honor to say that I have been a small part of such people.
I just wanted to share the pride I have this morning for those around me. This little scardey cat isn't as scared knowing that I am not alone in these new adventures and I don't think I could do this without being able to look up to the other families around me. DANG I am one lucky lady.
