As military spouses, we often have one of the hardest jobs out there.… We wait, we support, we worry, we pray, and without fail
It seems that everything that could go wrong does so when our spouse is away, or that while they are away, it is when we need them the most.
Sometimes when they call we find ourselves immediately complaining about our situation and telling them everything that is hard about them being gone and how we hate what we are going through...
Once we heard someone offer a bit of advice recommending we write a letter to the deployment, instead of complaining to our husband or wife,letting it know what it is putting us through!
Now is your chance to be heard and let others see the true emotion that is felt behind the headlines they read! We would like to offer each of you the opportunity to be included in our upcoming book, Dear Deployment.
By now you may be wondering who we are. Our names are Sarah and Lauren and we are best friends of 7 years, military wives, and deployment survivors like many of you. After going through our first deployment we finally understood the crazy emotions and stress felt by spouses and the need for a way to cope with it and to know that others feel the same way you do. That is what inspired us to compile your letters so that other spouses can know they too are not alone in their feelings and so others can begin to understand what deployments are like for those left to wait.
