My Father...

I received wonderful news two days ago! My brave and wonderful father has finally come home from Iraq. He arrived state side late on Friday night. I was very glad to hear from him and I am also glad that he is safe.

I feel the war is easy for some people - those people do not have loved ones fighting or preparing to fight in that desert. The war is as foreign as the country it is being fought in for many Americans. This war is one of the foremost worries in my mind. I was worried about my father, now I worry for my husband.

It happens to us all - all military wives eventually see their husbands leave for this war. (Military husbands do too, I am sure!) It is hard! I didn't think, or realize, how hard of a concept this would be for me. I am sure the stress my husband is under out weights mine though.

For anyone that reads this, for people that don't - keep loving our Military and their families. Keep loving us, because we protect you all. We protect you not because we want anything more than your love and suppose. We protect, because we love this country.
