I gotta say I'm proud of her for her self insight to not just herself but that of her husband as well -- he's my son. One of the proudest days of my life was when I watched Lance and Liz as they graduated MMA. Liz didn't get a diploma but her name sure should have been on his. 4 years of concentrated study when you are trying to make a new married life together is hard and wasn't done by just one of them...it took both of them to earn the degree and the right to shine because of the feat they accomplished. I've talked with both of them independently when Lance is at sea and Liz is at home. Both of them have their trials and both of them suffered with the other one not at hand. Both of them glowed when the homecoming came and they talked out their experiences. Only to have the short time together and then they get to do it all over again. Its a life not unlike so many couples apart because of the military rigors. I grew up as an army brat and can remember the coming and going of the warrior and the time when they came back together and fought over who was the "head of household" until the next deployment. I don't envy a mariner couple nor any military warrior family. It is hard. It is tough. It is grossly underpaid and misunderstood by those outside of their loop. But when the warrior or mariner comes home, skin harder from the salt and sun, it is a life to live, a life to love and a relationship known only to them. I'm proud of Liz and of Lance and their ability to write and vocalize their chores.<br /><br />Yes Liz, you are tough and you'll get tougher. But your sweet and nice and that is why home is where you are. It is why you are able to make the nest a home. Both of you never forget you have family that cares, who at least try to understand (you know we can't but we DO TRY). Lance, she is worthy of you and Son, you are worthy of her. I love you both.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-306552982930620784.post-32341832659215808542013-10-24T07:21:41.484-07:002013-10-24T07:21:41.484-07:00Literally, I finished reading this and exhaled, &q...Literally, I finished reading this and exhaled, "thank god it's not just me."
