I love: “The smallest adventures lead you to the greatest happiness.” It’s a wonderful attitude, no matter our walk in life!

My son inspired me to write that one. One night he decided he absolutely had to wear his sandals into the bathtub. Life or death adamant about wearing them. So I let him, and he had the time of his life. He’s really showed me to enjoy all the little things that life is all about…including all the adventures of military life and beyond. Thanks for your encouraging comment.

I think we dream so we don’t have to be apart for so long. If we’re in each other’s dreams, we can be together all the time.
How lucky am I to have someone that makes saying goodbye so hard.
Lauren Tamm
What a fabulous attitude! I think that is so important.

He is on his first deployment and the first few months of our relationship I honestly felt like giving up on him. I felt so empty and deeply saddened when he used to say ‘he’s busy’. Those two or three calls a week,those one or two texts a day…I waited for him so long. There were so many times I felt like leaving him and moving on and settling down with a civilian,but he used to tell me that he didn’t like arguing with me,he enjoyed comfortable silences with me and said that really loves me. He didn’t let me go..and with time I realized how much he is doing for his country,all the sacrifice and risks he is undergoing for his country….I realized that he is actually busy but at the end of the day he loves me as much as I love him. So I decided to be supportive and encouraging to him whenever he has strenuous activity. I respect his busy time and look forward to the time he makes for me. Loving him was the best decision of my life.
I find your post very meaningful and impactful. Thanks for such a boost. 🙂

Thank you for this comment…
My boyfriend is set to leave for deployment but we haven’t been together very long… I’m worried we won’t make it through it but hearing your story makes me realize that I’ll just need to be patient and support him… after all… that’s all I can do.
So thank you for sharing!
