Day 48

I can remember reading something a while back about a mother in law who said to her son's wife during deployment, "If something happens to him, you can find another husband... But I can't have another son."

The thought of someone ever saying that to one of my fellow military spouses makes me want to scream. The fact that I witnessed something very similar today, made me want to throw up (p.s. don't read too much into this, I haven't even spoken to my MIL today).

How can anyone EVER claim to know someone else's feelings or love for another person?? I'm sorry babe, but I'm going to rant for a minute.

I love you with every ounce of my heart. I really don't care who knows that, nor do I care what they think or feel about it. END of STORY. Do people not realize what they say? How can people be so insensitive and chauvinistic to believe that they can know what mine or anyone else's heart feels? Do people think that belittling someone else's feelings, proves that they hold more love for someone? I had to pick my jaw up from the floor. And I pray that nothing like that is ever said to another person. Rant over.

This was going to be a letter from the puppies, but they are upset, too, so they said they would try and write tomorrow instead.

It's been really, reallllllyyyy cold. -50 today. No fun.

I love you so much, and don't ever doubt that. Please take care, babe. You're my best friend and the love of my life. Goodnight, soldier.
