Zak wrote this for me tonight. As the deployment date draws near, we are fighting back the tears every minute and our hearts are slowly breaking knowing the rough road ahead of us but Zak is so strong and it helps me to stay positive and strong even though at times I am a complete disaster. But he wrote this because he says no matter how much I cry or how weak I feel, I am so strong and he knows that without a doubt. He said something to me that will stick with me, forever. He said, "do you know why I chose you to be my wife? because even though you were broken when we met, you were and still are stronger than any woman I have ever known". So simple but wow, so powerful to me.
Anyway, enough rambling...here is the poem my amazing husband wrote for me:
military wives are one of a kind
racing the clock and chasing the time
fighting the fate that is seemingly clear
stifling the break as deployment draws near
she is your courage, your power, your strength
no matter the distance, the danger, or length
she knows what your thinking when you try to lie
backing you up when your wanting to cry
facing the facts that we all know are true
helping the ones who are without clue
she is the best and you'll never get better
she'll have your back if you'll only just let her.
