PriorityPlusOne

A month now and we hadn't seen ourSoldier, yes he calls as much as he can. The boys are usually elated hearing from their father. Telling him all kinds of things and of course the standard question, 'when are you coming home Papa?' One of those slowwwww Sunday evenings, when all is done and it is 'me time.' I have no new book, no new movies, phone is boring, The Bible, we were at Church earlier today. I ended up staring at the ceiling for I don't know how long....I was awakened by huge vibration-my phone calling, it's MySoldier:) 'Listen myWife, I have tonight off, let me send you a driver, pack a dress for work tomorrow, you will find me here.' And the line went dead. 💃🏾There are no words that can actually describe the mood that tunes in when spending time with MySoldier is a possibility. Dinner untouched, we had spent less than an hour together and it's that number calling...'yes sir, ok sir, right away sir,' In 20 minutes, I was back at staring at the ceiling, as it stares back at me. Silently. Then I realized I preferred my old faithful ceiling more than this fancy one...! I have learned to find an answer to everything or at least know where to find one. I have learned to parent alone. Ok, for the most part. Because, like I mentioned previously, the army is his first wife (first family and it's even beyond priority....it is #PriorityPlusOne) the earlier I learned, digested and accepted this, I soldier on. Well truth is, it doesn't get easier but putting on my big-girl panties often (also read as The grace of God), I get stronger for me, for the boys, for ourSoldier and for the entire household. Amen. #bekindtooneanother#
