Ah, but does she like the husband you made for her?

Yes, of that I am certain. Both my sons have wives that adore them. Very unusual in this day and age. Military wives require extreme trust and courage.

You have lived your life as daughter, mother, and grandmother of those who serve the greater good. Their sacrifices necessarily became yours. You upheld those who upheld and uphold the many. The burden of who you have had to be played its own role in exposing your heart to sadness.

Granted
But I have missed out on their lives. So many things. So few I can remember but only from photographs. Little league and hockey games, performances to raise funds for kids with cancer, fishing and camping trips, orchestra recitals. 10 years of performances and I remember nothing. My parents knew my children and grandchildren better than I.
Such a wasted life. Never time for my family, a family scattered to the 4 winds. Each under orders to serve everywhere; Pacific, Iraq, (if I tell you I'll have to kill you) places.
Never time for the music and hobbies I enjoy. Those few I was able to do for awhile, my pain won't let me continue.
I just want to give up. This life of mine just is not worth it.
