For Christmas, my husband wanted to give me “a memory” instead of buying me some material possession that will fall apart or be forgotten as time passes. He has a very busy work schedule these first few months in 2012. He is trying to get in enough touring before we take time off to care [...]

Can you imagine shipping your spouse/significant other off to another country for an entire year? Yeah – me neither! But that is exactly what military wives do. We may be Road Widows and our loved ones may go on tour, traveling from city to city and making them be away from us for weeks at a [...]
