I discovered your blog a few months a...Dear Megan,<br /><br />I discovered your blog a few months ago when I started dating a soldier. I read your posts from time to time and each time I would get a sense of wonder and pride and a sense of fear and pain...fear towards the inevitable ache I would feel once he got deployed. I prayed about it all and realized that God placed us in each others' lives for a reason. I wasn't there when he made his decision. I wasn't there when he went to boot camp. And I wasn't there when he proudly became a National Guard. He has told me lots of stories and each time my heart gets filled with feelings of immense love and unspeakable pride as well as feelings of sadness: sadness for not being there for him when he needed me. I wish I had met him sooner, but it wasn't in God's plan for us. :) But now that we are together, I know that I WILL be there for him and I will stand by his side, even when he is thousands of miles apart from me. This morning, he sent me a text message that brought a smile to my face and tears to my eyes. After the wave of pain passed, I prayed, got on Google and searched for your blog. I've spent most of my time in-between my college classes today reading some of your recent posts.I have decided that I want to start from the beginning. I want to read EVERY single post. :) In the midst of the fear that's gaining more ground as the date of his deployment gets closer and in the midst of the waves of pain that hit me almost daily now, your words have soothed me and I have a feeling that they will keep soothing me in the 12 months that are ahead of me. :) Thank you for this blog. Thank you for sharing your thoughts and emotions with us. Thank C too. Thank you for everything you do from the bottom of my heart: thank you to you, your husband, and your kiddos.Kristinanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8484957168950195936.post-85955286458335895102012-02-23T15:34:35.241-06:002012-02-23T15:34:35.241-06:00Ashley!

You seem to have such a better head on your shoulders than I did at the time. ; ) <br /><br />I am glad you found me and PLEASE do read from the beginning!! It is very much a journey with ups and downs but every one precious and important and existing for a purpose. I look forward to reading your thoughts throughout! Thank you for commenting!<br /><br />- MeganTo Love a Soldier...https://www.blogger.com/profile/03672150426036117704noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8484957168950195936.post-13636989532942655962012-02-22T17:53:39.608-06:002012-02-22T17:53:39.608-06:00I came across your blog through Pinterest.

I'm not sure if it was you or someone else who pinned a link to your blog. <br /><br />While I am still just an Army girlfriend (my best friend/love of my life has been in the military since 2001) I hope to one day marry my darling. We have known one another since 2005, so the military life is something I have come to accept as a part of his life and to be honest, not many other girlfriends or even those engaged can fully relate to me because so many take it as a "Ooooh look at me! I'm dating a soldier!" as if it's something fairy tales are made of. . .even though our men are more precious than any prince it's more than just him looking handsome in his uniform, so much more.<br /><br />He was recently deployed and while we don't have children, your raw emotions in just this first post moved me. <br /><br />Thank you for sharing and I look forward to reading your blog (from the beginning on), so that I know I'm not alone in this crazy world of emotions that we get swept up in.<br /><br />Happy blogging!Ashleyhttp://www.outofashs.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8484957168950195936.post-47974303025582837122010-12-30T19:05:50.370-06:002010-12-30T19:05:50.370-06:00Thank you, Wendy.

I am lucky enough to have a child that one day did the same and remembers that first deployment, but most importantly, ten years later still tells me that Daddy has a very important job to do and that's why he has to go. We are strong--we are Army strong, because that's what we do!!! It's a life like none other, and not many outside can do it like we do!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8484957168950195936.post-53301942222621261052010-07-19T20:01:31.900-05:002010-07-19T20:01:31.900-05:00I have been praying for the 4th brigade guys.

At least nearly all of my fellow Army wives are experiencing the same thing together!

My husband deploys next month so I am starting to savor the little moments. Of course on Army Wives all the guys deployed on yesterdays episode, so the tears made an apperance.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13129247608575204591noreply@blogger.com
