The hardest job in the Army
You told me the hardest job in the Army was being an Army wife.
I didn't know how hard it would be until you called me and told me you were getting deployed. Now as I lay here writing this I am thinking about you getting your tank ready. I am so scared but I am remembering the words you told me, "I am to stubborn to die, honey". I am picturing our sons face... How do I explain to a two year old why Daddy won't be home for six or more months? I know that I must be strong... I have to hold our family together until you return. We are so proud of the man, husband, and Daddy that you are. We love you.
Dedicated to my loving husband PFC Vanacker
