Strong Bonds

     So my last blog was about Valentine's Day and how no man could compare to what a military man does because of the Valentines that my friend got from her military bf. I posted my blog link on her facebook wall so she could see what I wrote. What happened after I did that would make me realize A LOT of things. After I posted it my friend and 2 other people commented on it. My friend and the two other women who commented on my post were facebook friends...but they have never met! Now before you go thinking this is crazy I will explain to you why these three women and many other women like them have the strongest and most understanding friendship in the world. Now how they became facebook friends I am not sure but I believe it was through a facebook group. The facebook groups that I am talking about are for women that have a boyfriend/husband/fiance /brother/father etc. fighting for our country in either the military or other branches. These women are a part of a group that is as numerous as our troops, they are the ones left at home worrying constantly about their loved one and praying that they are ok.


                                                      

     One of the women that commented about my blog said "you learn very quickly not to take anything for granted and appreciate the tiniest things more." This struck me big time. It's amazing we don't realize how lucky we are if we don't have someone in the military. We can call our loved ones whenever we want, see them whenever we want, and spend time with them whenever we want. We get upset when can't see them, yell at them if they get us mad, and ignore them if they did something wrong. When military gfs/wives/fiances/moms etc. long for that 5 minute phone call. Are relieved when they get a letter from their loved one. Never do they get mad if it's been too long until their loved one called because they just want to hear their voice. If they're luck they get to skype and see their loved one who is on the opposite side of the world! Us "normal" people can really learn a lot from these remarkable men and women who sacrifice so much and still love each other from thousands of miles away. They appreciate the time that they get to spend with their love one and never take it for granted. Not only only are our soldiers army strong but so are the people they leave behind!
