Thanks to a fellow Army Wife I found this blog site.
Most people think that the soldier is the one who goes through the deployment, those of us who are wives and family members of soldiers know that that is not true. Families members also go through that deployment, spouse & children, mother & father, aunts, uncles, cousins & friends. We all go through deployment in our own way. Our soldiers have the hardest job, they are on the front lines, fighting for their lives. Those of us left at home are fighting to be strong and keep our heads up.
This will be our second deployment with the National Guard in 3 years. We have been married for 11 years, together 12, we have 3 wonderful children who are a little older now and understand more of what deployment means. As a military spouse we have to be strong for our children, they are looking to us to guide them through this journey - although I have to admit sometimes you just want to put your head down and cry!
I am keeping this blog not only so give people a better understandings of the other side of deployment, the families side, but also to keep a journal for myself and for my soldier. this is a way for me to stay strong during our deployment, and to help our family stay strong.
May God Bless all of our Military personel and there families. Keep your head up. HOOAH!
