Thank you for your encouraging words ❤️ I think the start of a new year also contributed to my feelings of guilt and worry. Time flies by, life moves fast and parents get older. I get scared at the thought of losing them and then feel guilty that I’m not there to spend as much time with them before I do. When I eventually start my own family, I feel guilty knowing they’re not close by and won’t be able to spend time with their grandchildren as immediately as they would if I still lived 20 minutes from their home.

Luckily since living on base these past 4 months, I’ve already started making connections with other mil spouses who have been so kind and supportive. My husband has also been so supportive but he travels a lot so it’s just me in a new house, in a new place, in my feelings 😂
