This life isn’t an easy one. As military spouses, we’ve given up a lot of opportunities in exchange for marrying a service member.
We’ve sacrificed our careers, our roots, time away from our extended families, consistency, and the ability to plan, while accepting the job of solo-parent and helpmate and harnessing the burden of household duties on our own shoulders.
To the struggling military spouse, we see you.
To the spouse whose service member received orders to the third duty location just this year, we see you.
To the spouse who is regretfully handing over her letter of resignation at a job she loved in preparation for yet another PCS, we see you.
To the spouse who has left yet another job interview feeling defeated, we see you.
To the spouse saying “see you later” to a group of friends that couldn’t possibly exist anywhere else, we see you.
