With thanksgiving looming I find myself looking to the past as well as the future. I know that this life is not an easy one but I am truely thankful that I have been able to meet and call some of this country's heroes my friends. I am thankful for my husband, even on his bad days, because as much as he drives me crazy I love him with all of my heart.
I wouldn't be able to get through this life without the support of my friends, they are always there when I need an ear and I hope that they can say the same thing about me. They have become my family, the family that I have created for myself and my children. My children are very lucky to have a bunch of aunts and uncles that will always be there, no matter what mistakes they make. They are just children but they already have a legacy, they understand war in ways that no child should ever have to understand. They have stood quietly at funerals and memorials for people they knew, young people that died far before their time, those same people that fought for all the children of several countries to live in a place of peace.
I have seen people protesting the Afghanistan commitment, people that haven't done their research to know the good that has been done. Tyrants cannot be allowed to run things and if that means that I have to deal with my husband having PTSD, it's the least I can do. I am thankful to be married to a man that believes in trying to make the world a better place, he will do what he does, so that my children don't have to.
