The best part of fall for me is football. I love the lazy days of Sundays when I can
turn on a game. Better yet, I enjoy
going somewhere to watch with my husband and military friends. Yesterday, we were joined later in the day
when drill released for the weekend by a dear friend and his buddy.
I love being around military guys. We laugh and enjoy being together. We reminisce over the old days, telling
stories. We discuss the politics of
being veterans of either twenty years of service and/or of foreign wars. And we talk football. There is something comfortable about being
around these people, my people. I miss
them now that I am retired. I am glad
Jerry is still in and we are still connected.
I am also thankful that the guys he went to Iraq with have graciously
included me in their activities. They
recognize the struggles I went through at home, though very different from
their struggles. I don’t want to lose
that. In fact, it is one of the reasons
I don’t want to leave Helena. I love the
military community we have built.
