Soldier’s Wife

  • We are half way home...

    272 days ago you packed your bags and went to the mob station. That day will forever be imbedded in my head. So many times I have closed my eyes and can feel that last kiss you gave me. With tears rolling down my cheeks I drove away with such an empty...
  • Your coming home to me

    Just when I think I can't survive another month without seeing you, you let me know that your coming home on leave. I always hoped to hear that but didn't want to be disappointed. You'll be back in my arms in just a couple weeks. I can't...
  • I had to post this poem I found

    A SOLIDER'S WIFEI am asked everyday by people who care about me what it is like to be a solider's wife.There is no easy answer to that question because unless you are one of us you can not fathom what we deal with every second of every day.Close...
  • Your finally home!

    It is over. I really can't believe it. I think the smiles on the boys faces says it all. It has only been a week and it seems like you never left. Hopefully, we will never have to go thru this again...We love you!
  • Only 1 month left!

    It seems so strange. We have been waiting so long for this and I can't seem to get myself motivated. I have planned in my head for over a year now just what I would do to prepare for your homecoming and now that it is almost here, I just can't...
  • Back in the routine

    It has been a while since I last posted...being negative doesn't help anyone so I decided to stay quiet for a bit until my thoughts were clear. It is amazing to me that this time was so hard. I guess I truly didn't realise how much I miss you...
  • Picking myself back up again

    Enough feeling sorry for myself, life goes on right? It has been 5 days since you left again...seems like a few months. At least we are on the home stretch. Another 6 months or so and this will all be over. The boys are doing ok...better than me anyway...
  • My thoughts for the day

    It has been 5 months since I have seen you. I am thankful we had that time before you went overseas. So much has happened since you have left. We have a new house. The baby is talking now. The older boys have gained so much independence and I am just...
  • Here we go again...

    Well, it has been a little over 3 years since your last deployment and now we are preparing for you to leave us again. At least we have more warning this time and the boys are that much older. To my fellow military wives, I apologize for not checking...
  • Just waiting...

    Where are you now? I wish I knew. I know that you are in the travel stage but have no idea where or when I will hear from you. The not knowing is driving me nuts! I can't believe that it is finally here. You have been away from us for 16 months now...
  • A Lazy Sunday

    After such a busy week, the boys and I are just hanging around today. It is so nice to not have anything that HAS to be done for a change. Being busy is definitely the best thing to try to keep my mind off you. Somehow though, even in the middle of complete...
  • A Busy Month

    It has been almost a month since I last posted...Thankfully, it has flown by. Matthew is doing great in baseball. He made the all star team and stood there so proud when the National Anthem was sung. Joey seems to be doing better and Dave is just hanging...
  • 3 more months

    Thankfully the past month went by pretty fast. It amazes me that summer is already half over. Soon enough the kids will be back in school and I will be preparing for your homecoming. I can't wait until this is over. I pray everyday that we will never...
  • 2 more months and your out of Iraq!

    Part of me is so excited and part of me is a little afraid. I am scared that we will overwhelm you. I am scared that you won't be able to handle all the attention. You have basically lived in a tin can for the past year isolated from any love and...
