I received a message from a friend, today, though I have revoked that title from her. She told me that I was stupid for marrying Chris. She mentioned that I had finally found true love with a man who is never going to be here for me, and that I better wake up, because it's obvious my life sucks.
My reply went much as follows: My life does not suck. My life is very hard, yes, but it definitely doesn't suck. There are many blessings I can count in my life.
- One: I have a man by my side who would never allow me to want for anything within his power to give me.
- Two: True my husband is gone from home a lot, but when he is here, he makes me happier than any man in my life ever has, and they were always home.
- Three: I have a dream job that I would never have had if I decided to stay in Florida, or go back home during his deployment instead of staying here.
- Four: My son is living a dream life, one only few have the chance to do, and one many dream of.
- Five: I have a husband I can be proud of. He is out there fighting for my freedom, the freedom of all of America, and the freedom of people's1st amendment right to call me stupid for the choices I made.
- Six: I have a wonderful and supportive extended family with my in-laws. My mother and father-in-law are two very down to earth people, for whom I feel very blessed to know. My sister-in-laws are amazing people, who tell me often how much they appreciate me being here. It feels very good to feel like I belong.
- Seven: I have countless friends and family members who support my decisions, and I am thankful every day that I don't have to hear things like what my "friend" has mentioned.
- Eight: I have the ability to tell people who want to be negative and cruel to get the hell out of my life.
I love my life, and though I may complain about things from time to time, I wouldn't be anywhere else, because I am with my soul mate. There is nothing he wouldn't do for me. There is no mountain he wouldn't climb for me. There is no fire he wouldn't walk through for me, and you better believe there is absolutely nothing I wouldn't do for him.
