My husband served 22 years.
We are retired now, but the military life was where we started.
There were many moments lost (birthdays and firsts).
What was missing God has put together and given back times 100. ;)
Thank your service people and pray for not only the soldiers...but those who are left behind.
Also, pray for their reunions!
Piecing a family back together is the hardest struggle, sometimes, when the adrenalin rush and "I miss you" is done.
You've got a marriage that was spent mostly apart-sometimes you're almost strangers.
It takes a lot of work,faith,communication and GOD first to keep it all together, ya know?
