Life didn’t turn out the way I planned
But because of you is how I still stand
you’re the solid ground beneath my feet
you stand strong even when I accept defeat
when my heart grew too tired
You were the beauty that kept me inspired
It felt like mountains I was trying to get through
I would have given up by now if it wasn’t for you

Debatably Dateable 
just think if you could feel that way about yourself

My strength is failing and if it wasn’t for my kids and my wife, I don’t think I would have the strength to go on and even then right now it is hanging on by a small string.

I encourage you to speak to your wife, close friend, and professional about the difficult emotions you’re going through 💙

I try. I’m actually seeing a sleep therapist. Army life is tough and I’ve been apart from my family for almost 2 years. Makes for a tough time.
