My husband and I met four years ago and immediately had a magnetic connection that neither of us had experienced before. He had 3 children from two different women and I had 1 child from my previous marriage. We jumped right into life together, blended our families pretty much right away and within 4 months we were expecting our son. We were very excited about having a blended family and building a life together.  Throughout our first year together, it became noticeable that I was taking care of all the responsibilities in the house and with the children. Not to mention that he had never ..read more

Dear Joe, It's November 14, 2016 and it's been 9 months since I've seen or spoken to you. Very much like the first time you walked out my life. The saying goes: "Fool me once shame on you, fool me twice shame on me." But I could see myself being fooled thrice. Why? Because I love you! I have experienced what I consider to be hell on earth these past couple of months trying to wrap my head around what's going on and why. Constantly bombarded with people telling me to move on and why I should move on. I remember you saying once: "We'll see how stubborn you are?" And you are right. We will ..read more

My stepson, JCS, was never a great human being.  He was selfish all the time.  but, actually, he became less selfish when he joined the army rangers.  He wanted elite.  but, what he got was seeing little girls crying for a bottle of water.  And he, who never gave anything to anyone, found himself giving all his supplies to children in Afghanistan.  When he came home, he cried telling me one of the bottles had broken on the ground.  I could never respect him more.  There are many more stories...all broken....but, I can not share anymore...except to sa ..read more

Dear everything, I don't know how to express the love I have for you very well, but I'm going to try. I love how we first met. You were just that quiet young looking girl that seemed to need some one to talk to. We got along so well, sharing our ideas and even disagreeing over a few. No matter what, every morning you sat next to me, and gave me one of those awesome smiles that I fell in love with. I love your stubborn determination. Through all of our troubles, hardships, and challenges, you've always been our rock. When I need a hug, you've always been there with open arms. When I did s ..read more

If you've kept up with FOV (Family Of a Vet) in the last year you might have noticed that things have been conspicuously quiet in the last 8-12 months. Something I - Brannan, founder of FOV - but more than that the chick who sort of eats, sleeps, and breathes this work and mission because somehow, amazingly and thankfully, this mission/passion/calling found me almost a decade ago and has become the most amazing adventure I could have never imagined - feel guilty about sort of 24x7 right now. I'm not sure I could catch you up completely on our personal life - the rather chaotic mess of daily su ..read more

I'm writing a love letter to my hero on a day when I am struggling to find my love for you. I dread the holidays and this one was no different. You pushed everyone away including God. Although it's been years since you came home from going to war I'm still waiting for you to come all the way home. This year I realized that maybe you are never coming all the way home. Maybe when you go to war to protect and save a country, you go to save it for the people you left behind, the people who haven't been born yet or made citizens but you don't get to come home and enjoy the peace and safety you ..read more

Dear Son, Watching you grow up from a baby to a wonder young man has given me great joy. When you enlisted in the military as a mom, I was tearful and concerned. But no matter what time day or night I prayed constantly for you. You still gave me great joy.  During the call of you being injured as I felt it already in my heart, I prayed that God would protect you and bring you back to me safe and sound. A prayer that was honored. Now I have seen you go through the effects from the injury and still I pray. No demon that is trying to rise up shall and will not over take you. The test ..read more
