I find it strange the questions that people feel comfortable asking a military spouse. I think because it's something new to them they have questions and don't really think about how that question will affect the person they are asking.
One of old associates asked me if I was scared that he could die over there. It was hurtful to hear it and hurtful that it would be the first thing somebody would ask. The honest truth is of course I am. It's something all military spouses will think about, worry about and obsess about. It's something that you have to come to terms with. So friends and family, to be warned, don't ask this question.
The other question was how could you feel in love anymore. My answer was more so than the day before. I don't take for granted the nights that I do sleep next to my husband, the mornings I can spend with him. The conversations we have are my everything. The simple truth is that this is the sacrifice that I make in order to be married to the man I love and need in my life. I will continue to work and nurture our relationship, it can only grow that way and that is how I feel in love with my husband. Too many people don't realize the gift they have when it comes to their relationship.
