To My Friends

I have been feeling a little guilty since my last post. I have been having a really difficult time with Wes gone, but I know it's nothing compared to what some of my family and friends have gone or are going through. This is a post dedicated to you, and I think you know who you are.

Thank you for being so strong in such a difficult situation.

Thank you for being an example to so many people.

Thank you for loving your soldiers.

Thank you for drying tears on your own face and the faces of your children after a rough night, or week, or even a rough couple of months without your soldier.

Thank you for getting up each morning and accomplishing even the littlest things all on your own, every day.

Thank you for smiling and laughing even though I know sometimes all you are thinking about is if your soldier is ok.

Thank you for supporting all the rights and freedoms we all enjoy by supporting your soldier.

I don't know how you all have done it for months and even sometimes a year at a time. Thank you for inspiring me and so many others! You are true heroes!
