Military Child


No one could ever truly understand the endless emotion behind it all.

You lose friendships, time, hard work, and a piece of your heart every time.

You miss out on weddings, birthdays, family events, parties and even deaths.

You have to leave it all behind time after time again.

 

Yet when you leave one chapter behind you start a brand new one in your journey.

You learn new cultures, are introduced to spectacular people, and make cherishable memories.

As someone wise before me once said you are the only one entitled to your own aspects in life.

So why mourn on the past when you can adorn your future
