This holds so true, and if it doesn't, are you really truly your military man's love?? I still remember exactly how everything felt......
*The average age of the military wife/girlfriend is 20 years old.
*She probably never saw herself loving a man who was in the military, but she loves him regardless.
*Her penmanship has improved over the last few months, due to the excessive letter writing she has been doing.
*She cries a lot,because she misses the man she swore to love. Her life isn't complete without him.
*She looks very tired, because of her many nights without sleep, due to a late night phone call that never came or a call that came and kept her up all night, just because she heard his voice, she is too overjoyed to sleep.
*As a wife, she is classified as a dependent, but she is totally independent.
*She tends to her household, her kids, her school work, and her job, all without her husband/boyfriend.
*She manages to wear a smile, even though inside she's crying.
*She understands that the man she loves has to go far away.
*She understands that he can be taken away from her in a moments notice.
*She feels a great sense of pride and probably cries whenever she hears the National Anthem, sees a flag blowing in the breeze, or watches the news and hears about another death in Iraq or Afghanistan she worries that it might be him.
*She goes weeks without a call or a letter, but she writes him whenever she gets a free moment.
*She knows how to convert civilian time into military time.
*Before he left she used to complain if she didn't see him for a day or two, but now she gets annoyed when she hears someone complaining about not seeing their boyfriends.
*She may not have seen him for months but she remembers everything about him, every scar he has, the way he smells, whether or not he snores.
*She has every picture of him and they are out and in frames, she stares at them for hours on end.
*She has read every letter at least 40 times.
*Even though her man is a half a world away, she still manages to go on with her life, as he would want her to.
