Missing someone gets easier every day because even though it’s one day further from the last time you saw each other, it’s one day closer to the next time you will. ~Author Unknown
Freedom isn’t free. You can ask these kids, my kids, and any other military kid who’s had to say goodbye to their daddy for any period of time. It COSTS alot.
It costs memories, tears, sweat, worry, heartache. It costs alot.
“She packs. She moves. She follows. Why? What for? How come? You may think she’s lost her mind. Actually,she’s lost her heart. It was stolen from her by a man. A man who puts duty first, who longs to deploy, who salutes the flag, and whose boots in the doorway remind her that as long as he is …her Military Man, She will …remain his Military Sweetheart.”
All of this to keep us free. So next time you see a military member or their family, give them a hug, thank them, pay for their dinner. We live in the land of the free because of people like these, and I am SO thankful for them.
