so goes the life of a (former) ranger wife

This has been one of the hardest weeks we have had in recent months. Which is saying a lot with everything that has gone on in our lives. The death of our friend and the constant hope that our other friends will not only survive but return and thrive in life, has sent us on an emotional rollercoaster. Rangers, as my fellow wives now, don't really show emotion; Ranger wives however show LOTS of emotion. This makes for a hard time moving on from the loss of a friend. I wish that I could make things better for our guys, make it easier, make them feel less guilt and sadness. I also wish that they would understand that they can show weakness to us, they can admit they are sad and not just angry. I hope that when we all see each other this weekend, we can use it as a time of healing, and rejoice together, celebrating the life of our Airborne Ranger in the Sky Rob.
