So is my name SGT Taylor's wife, Brooks Mommy, oh you must be Mr David's Mama, or Abbie's favorite person to cry for???? Actually its none of those according to my birth certificate but it's what I am used to. Since becoming a Mom and a wife let alone a soldier's wife I have no first name anymore!
I used to be angry about this and would always say you can call me....but no one ever remembered or seemed to notice I said anything. Well I guess I am okay with it now, sometimes it gets under my skin still that I am always something to someone else and never my own person anymore.
I guess what makes it okay is at the end of the day when my husband grabs me and pulls me to him and calls me his little woman and kisses me so sweetly or my children cry out to me as they race to see who gets to kiss me first screaming my Mommy, or my Momma I can't help but smile. In my own home I am something to everyone and that matters to me.
Being prior service myself I was always "hey soldier" before or "private" then "specialist" and lots of other not so nice words I will omit...lol So I guess I have lost my name since 2002 but its been gone for so long now I don't think I really notice so much anymore.
Today life is good, tomorrow...who knows? God does but he sure ain't telling!
Til the next time.....
