Remember...

Remember this...


When you're complaining about how your significant other is making you mad...
Remember that there is a spouse somewhere out there who has a loved one deployed... 


They're wishing they could be with them again. Despite all of the challenges, fights, arguments, disagreements, and all. They're wishing that they could be here not to take out the trash, argue over dishes, pick up their dirty socks over and over, and more. They are wishing that they could be with them watching their children grow. 
(I'll admit I've been guilty of it. But now it's another perspective.)


Remember to hold them often, kiss them, hug them, touch them, talk to them, and appreciate them for all that they do. 
Remember that while your may be driving you crazy, another is wishing they could have their husband/wife home with them . 
Remember that while you may be arguing over diaper changes, someone else is wishing that theirs isn't missing all of their children's important milestones..
Remember that while your is home (or somewhat close), another is on the other side of the world in unfamiliar territory.


Remember it all. 
Before your left missing every second of it.
