Military wife's battle

I am a military wife and I write this blog in order to salute to all the military wives out there who wholeheartedly devote their lives for their families in the absence of their husbands due also to their obligations to defend the country.  


Let us acknowledge the fact that many people like the heroism thing and would like to join the military because they think that's the best way to do it.  Well, we all are heroes in our own way.  How?  The act of selflessly offering oneself to do things for the benefit of all is the one - no matter who you are and what your role is in the society.  So that talking specifically about military wives, it's not an easy task to be both father and mother to the children and I'd tell you, when we're alone we have no choice than to embrace the fact that we are military wives.  Sometimes, I hate the word 'automatic.'  Name all you can to interpret that word including to describe our roles as military wives - when our husbands leave home, we are automatically the ones in charge of everything.  We also are alone fighting the battle of being both a father and mother.  That is why I salute to all the military wives!  


Btw, a quote to inspire: "Military wife; the toughest job in the military."
