I didn't choose this life.
This life chose me.
A man walked into my life.
He just walked in.
He was kind.
He was strong.
He was funny.
He was sexy.
He was right.
I did not sign up for this.
He signed up for this.
I just fell in love.
I fell into a life of sacrifice and compromise.
A life of worry and fear.
But I fell into a life of friendship and support.
A life of respect, love, and affection.
I just fell.
I didn't choose this life.
This life chose me.
But if you ask me to choose,
I choose this life.
How true.
ReplyDeleteIsn't it irritating when someone says that we signed up for this? I bet they wouldn't leave the one they love!
So, so true. I couldn't live my hubs if I tried.
ReplyDeletePeople ask how I do this military "thing". Honestly, I don't know any different. Civilian life scares me. Strange, I know.
ReplyDeleteThat, and I can't imagine my hubby as anything other than who he is. He is a man who will protect and serve. He is a soldier.
Hang tight! This military wife gig is a fun ride. ;)
I can completely relate to this.
ReplyDeleteSo beautiful! I never once considered the possibility that I would marry a man in the military, but he was right and so here I am.
ReplyDeleteI love this. Perfect.
ReplyDeleteLove it! I found your blog through Goodnight Moon and feel like I relate to you. I'm working on my doctorate (just not in the medical sciences) and am married to a military man. Sometimes I feel others don't understand why I "chose" this path even with so many of my own personal goals I am trying to pursue. I agree--this life chose me, but I would choose it all over a million times. :) Nice to "meet" you...I look forward to following your blog!
