Oh my gosh! It's so stressful to watch. I have to make sure that the kids are fed and watered and in bed. I have to pop a few Tylenol's because for some reason, every time I cry I get a headache.Make sure I go to the bathroom, get a snack and something to drink. haha
I personally don't know anyone in the Army. Even so, I am grateful for them and everything they do. I was explaining the Army to the kids the other day. R was asking about it and what it meant. R said he wants to join the Army.....................
I am way too selfish to have my baby join the Army. I know it's an amazing thing to do, but damn! I don't want my baby to get hurt or die. I know he's only six, and maybe he was just saying it. Because at this age, he wants to do everything! I wouldn't want to be apart from him for that long. And not being able to talk to him everyday is enough to kill me.
I wouldn't want my husband to join either. I hate being apart from him. I don't think I could handle being a single parent for that long. Because that's how it is. You're a single parent while they are off to war. It would be very hard to let him go. I would be a nervous wreck if anyone in my family chose to join.

I used to think I wouldn't truly know the sacrifice of being an Army wife until Brian served a real deployment. I by all mean know that that is a bigger sacrifice than anything I have went through but the older Colson gets the more and more I am seeing the constant sacrifice this is for Brian, Colson, AND me! It's so tough and scary but so amazing to know Brian is doing such a selfless thing! I love that show too!! I cry like a baby! Brian is staying in the 20 years - so it's almost inevitable that we'll go through a deployment!
ReplyDeleteI haven't watched it, and won't I guess, I hate to cry.
ReplyDeleteDon't worry, your little one will change his mind a thousand times before he grows up.
I wish my boys had/would join/ed up, for at least one tour. Maybe it would make men out of them; but I think that ship has done sailed.
