Life just keeps getting "curiouser and curiouser," as Alice would say. And I'm going mad.
I just noticed that this is my 100th post as the Warrior Wife. Now isn't that apropos!
Since September 7, 2011, Aaron and I have been adjusting to our new life after he suffered catastrophic injuries while performing Explosive Ordnance Disposal (EOD) operations in Kandahar, Afghanistan. After three years at Walter Reed National Military Medical Center, we have come home to Alabama with our miracle child, AJ, to build a new life near family. This is our journey to creating our "forever home."

Sometimes it's just not right.
I've been pretty much immobile for the past few days. I feel emotionally paralyzed, and my crying fit a few minutes ago finally told me why: It is suddenly hitting me how abnormal this life is. I'm not ungrateful, at all, but this just ain't right (as we say in the South). We live at a hospital. I mean, this whole place... there is nothing normal about it. And I wonder if "they/it/life" get away with it because the military lifestyle is so strange that we become accustomed to it, but now it feels like we're doing the only thing weider than that. In this moment, that's what it feels like.

Hey,
ReplyDeleteSo I just stumbled upon your page and I must say you're truly inspiring. I am also a military wife, however nothing compared to the warrior that you are. I wish you nothing but happiness.
