Humans constantly amaze me at our capacity to adjust and keep going. That doesn't mean we can't admire those who do so with grace, but I think that many would be surprised at their own inner strength. I also hate it when people tell me it will be okay (he will be home soon, safe, etc.)...I know they are trying to be reassuring, but I keep thinking, "Are you psychic? Do you have a special hotline to God the rest of us do not have?" I know that it is just something that people say when they don't know what else to say, though...so at least they are being positive. The only one that REALLY drives me nuts is when people think my status as a military wife is an open invite to talk politics. How about we postpone that conversation until my husband gets home, okay?
