Let’s talk about the elephant in the room.
Depression took one of our best and brightest. When Robin Williams died by suicide on Aug. 11, 2014, I’ll admit that it threw me for a loop, and I wasn’t alone. It seemed like the nation was sent staggering for a few days (or a week, or two). It, quite plainly, sucks.
Everyone has a passion for something, something they love to do and can’t imagine not having as a part of their lives. It could be that you love cooking or that you love to decorate your home. Whatever it may be, there is a passion out there for everyone.
Okay, so I wrote about my top 10 things I’ll miss about Korea. What a lovely reflection of our three-year tour. It’s only fair that I write about the 10 things I’ve missed about America, in no particular order. Why 10? Because I don’t have the time to write a top 100 list right now.
I was extremely lucky for the past six months because the Army pretty much gave me uninterrupted time with my service member. With the exception of two small, week-long TDYs, we’ve been inseparable. It’s actually the most time we’ve ever spent together, and it has been awesome.
If you’re like me, you may be trying to prolong the warm nights, barbecues with new friends, and suntans as long as possible. Lucky for me, Alabama stays warm for quite some time after August ends, so our summer weather is here to stay for a bit longer. Why not help it last longer with some scrumptious summer snacks?
Well, it has been a month. A month of sleeping on my own, a month of taking care of the house and family on my own, a month since my service member left for a year-long hardship tour to Korea. I know many spouses have gone on this same journey, and I have wonderful friends who have given me great details of what to expect from a hardship tour.
