Bloom Where You’re Planted© Tara Crooks Army spouses aren’t usually afforded the luxury of stability. We’re here one year and there the next. The friends we make tomorrow may not be there next week. Our happiness along this journey is definitely a “state of mind” but there are things we can do to bloom where…

Monthly Archives: August 2009It is official, I now have food in the refrigerator that will expire after my husband has left for Iraq. I am trying to stay positive, trying to have a HOOAH we can do this attitude. Last night I held my six year old on my lap while he sobbed, so afraid that his Daddy… I'm so sorry Sarah. My heart hurts for you. You're one tough cookie. Sarah, I am right there with you. My husband is leaving in november. I have to go back to cali to be with my mom. We just found out she has cancer. You put all that I am feeling into words. Thank you for sharing. I feel like my heart is torn. I want to be with my husband for the little time we have and I have to and want to be with my mom as she is fighting for her life. I will be praying for you sarah. God bless you and your family. Jennifer Jennifer, I am so sorry to hear about your Mom, tell her that we are praying for her. I can only imagine how hard all of this is for you on top of deployment. Praying for you too! i have never commented before, and i admit, i have been kind of a blog stalker since i found this site a few months ago. i am a marine corps wife, and i have noticed alot of army wives here. The Thunder Run has linked to this post in the blog post From the Front: 09/01/2009 News and Personal dispatches from the front and the home front. Ouch. My heart just breaks thinking about you holding your son last night though. Mine are 9 and 12, and I'm sure I'd be doing the same thing with them. Dear Sarah: having been through the same situation, my heart's with you or as Tara said my heart hurts for you. Your husband, children and YOU will be in my prayers. Trust that all will be well. We pray for all of our military families that they will be safe and live together in happiness. Secretia I have to be the biggest Ham Bone in the Army family. The tiniest things get me all fired up about being a military spouse. Yesterday I was driving to work. It’s a bit of a long drive as I have take Fort Stewart’s infamous “Green Tunnel”. This is the loving nickname given to the… My husband (formerly Army currently Air Gaurd) says that all the time so I had to read the blog! Loved it and I can totaly picture it! Gotta appriciate those times or you'll never make it right?! Ok, we just PCS'd from Stewart. And we lived in Richmond Hill, in the town houses just on the other side of “the green tunnel.” (PS.. I loved living there. Amongst civilians but close enough to get back to the commissary, lol). I had those military moments all the time. See a tank convoy trucking along and you would've thought I saw Santa! I love it. Love it! Those moments that make us smile are so worth it. I loved (and miss) the smell of the starched BDUs and the rolling thunder of track vehicles roaring down the road when we were in Korea. We are now at Ft. Stewart and love the helicopter action and the artillery in the distance. Wouldn't be the Army life without that ambiance! years ago, my friend andy’s husband was killed in iraq. she and i became fast friends one night at a coffee event, so much of our lives we alike from meeting our husbands on the exact same night to how we thought of the same things at the same time. when our husbands left for… thank you for writing this. My condolences- however late- to your friend. and this is the man a friend of mine worked for, a man of love, compassion and understanding. He had seen so much sorrow, his empathy was huge. LAW Until now, I really didn't think much of Ted Kennedy. Thank you for this perspective. I am so sorry for the loss of your friend's husband. I hope she and their son are getting along ok. I spent a ME day last weekend at the movie theatre because I have been dying to see The Time Traveler’s Wife. About half way through the movie I had a deja vue moment, I just knew that I’d seen this before, five minutes later, Claire, the wife, says to Henry, the time traveler, “My… How weird! A reader wrote this in his review of my novel, “Homefront” (the story of a woman whose love deploys at the start of the war): “I really want to encourage people to pick up Homefront. The war in Iraq is … the engine for an incisive look at separation, loss, fidelity, guilt, and uncertainty. I really enjoyed this book on the level of both content and style, and would rank it with other portraits of women under pressure, such as Audrey Niffenegger’s The Time Traveler’s Wife.” - James Viscosi, author of Night Watchman and Dragon Stones I really have to see that movie (or, well, read the book…probably read the book). How funny! I thought exactly the same thing as I watched the movie…even though I would be the time travellers mother! |
