{forever grateful}

I interrupt my time with my husband to send you a thank you.

Part of me wishes every military wife, or even wives whose husbands travel a lot for work, had a support system like I do with blogging. Writing has always been an outlet for me; I’ve had this particular blog for more than five years, and I’ve kept a journal online and on paper for years before that.

Even though it was a short deployment, I’m so incredibly happy it’s over and I want to thank each and every one of you for your help, support, and words of encouragement over the past several months.

What we do is not easy, especially for a newlywed in a new city, but you guys have made this deployment a lot more tollerable and have actually made it an easy process. Honestly, I never thought “easy and deployment” would ever be in the same sentence together.

I saw this poem on Yummy Mommy’s blog and did a little copy and paste magic so I could share it with you here.
