Lola Love

"I'm selfish, impatient and a little insecure. I make mistakes, I am out of control and at times hard to handle. But if you can't handle me at my worst, then you sure as hell don't deserve me at my best."
— Marilyn Monroe

"Imperfection is beauty, madness is genius and it's better to be absolutely ridiculous than absolutely boring."
— Marilyn Monroe

Give me greatness of heart to see,
the difference between duty and his love for me.

Give me understanding so that I may know,
when duty calls him, he must go.

Give me a task to do each day,
to fill the time when he’s away.

When he’s in a foreign land,
keep him safe in your loving hand.

And when duty is in the field,
please protect him and be his shield.

And Lord, when his deployment seems so long,
please stay with me and keep me strong.

We are military wives. We love our husbands and all that comes with them. We hate the goodbyes and we Love the hellos. We count the days til they return and the ones til they are gone again. We hold no military ranking but are part of a silent rank. The smell of shoe polish means they are home again. We are military wives, stronger then most. Part of a unique family and a life most have never dreamed of. Just like our men, very few can lead this life, We can stand and say we are strong enough.
