Thread: Today is the end of an era. No, not talking Trump. My ex finished his 20 years in the Army. 6 deployments, 3 kids, numerous moves, burying friends, losing parents and the uncertainty of life. It’s been a long 20 years. He called me last night to simply say “thank you” /1
We obviously had our issues but we are still close and respect each other now. It was fucking hard, military life isn’t for the weak, especially being married to an infantryman. I will forever be grateful that my kids have a father that showed them how to finish what they start/2
That’s so important. I know things I’ll never share with anyone cause war is hell. We laughed a lot just discussing all the shit we dealt with but he also told me how proud he was of me during those years I went to college got my degree, raised wonderful kids and self improved /3
He also said “I’ve met terrorist that are a lot less scary than you are” 
he will tell anyone “Kristin is the smartest person I’ve ever met” the man to this day won’t say a bad word about me which I think is telling, and I don’t say bad things about him. There’s no need /4

It’s odd, I always imagined this day, and it’s here and it’s so different than the day I imagined. That’s life. We are both happy and healthy apart but always a support system. We’ve raised amazing kids. In the end that’s what matters. /end
