Positive 2:
Meeting other navy wives/families/friends to have people you can relate to. Some of us met on my birthday, August 14, 2006!:) No matter how close the relationship, no matter the distance, we will forever be bonded. But of course there's those that you will always hold close to your heart, the girls who have shared your pain and sadness as well as your laughs. The girls who have made this ride a little easier to deal with. We all don't have the same story but we understand how the navy can be a big pain in the butt haha. I'm so grateful for you ladies you have no idea. Things may change, we must move on and go our separate ways, but you will never leave my heart. You are more than just "navy wives" and I-L-O-V-E-Y-O-U.

I am so much stronger now that i thought i could be. And our love is stronger too. Never thought id date a military man. Let alone fall in love and get married to one. I didn't know what i was getting myself into. all i knew was that i loved him and would do anything to be with him. When Greg and I first started dating, he was in Norfolk, VA and i was still in Jersey. We were fortunate enough that his schedule allowed him to visit on a lot of weekends. Still my heart ached each time he had to go. Because each time he visited, we got closer and closer. He had to see me cry and sometimes i wished that he hadn't. Just because he was the one leaving, doesn't mean he wasn't sad too. He had no choice but to go. And it probably didn't make it any easier on him. Even though i felt embarrassed that he saw my tears, and see me so crazy emotional, He was always there comforting me. Never once did he walk away. I couldn't believe how caring and understanding he was...well still is. I knew, from those moments, that he was a keeper. He made me smile like no other guy could. Through all the goodbyes, duty days, and under-ways, each day we were one day closer to seeing each other. one day closer to the "Hellos". And that feeling is like no other.
[from the "goodbyes"... -- to the "hellos"]
