1. You walk into the post office every week with Flat Rate box or boxes and it costs $11.39 to ship each box.
2. The custom labels are filled out before entering the post office.
3. Your eyes swell listening to "I'm Proud to be an American".
4. You're able to switch radio stations one minute before the news airs.
5. You have no idea what's going on in the world around you because you avoid the news at all costs.
6. The "big" problems to some people, seem so small to you. And you know in the picture of life... it'll be okay.
7. It's emotional to set up your Christmas Tree. You know Christmas won't be the same without your husband.
8. The people at the post office know you by name and know the address you're sending your packages to because you are there every week.
9. You look for the little things to smile or laugh about.
10. You wake up each morning and thank God for giving you another opportunity to be the best citizen you can. Afterall, you are free because of the brave men and women that fight for our freedom. The least you can do is respect our country and the people that live in it.

i know that it's a lesson that could be learned without the deployment of a spouse...but isn't it a small gift how you know, more than any of us, just how deeply to breath in the smell of your husband's cologne, how tightly to wrap your arms around his body in a hug, how to listen to the cadenance of his voice and hear every detail of his words? when he is home how blessed you will be---for knowing what you had been missing all along.
praying for you katie.
can we get an address for the unit? and do you know of any items they especially would like to receive?
I couldn't agree with you more Katie
