Some people say that military marriage is very bitter. The long waiting and distance barrier make lovers always miss each other. Some people say that military marriage is very sweet. The wild geese passes letters and videos, and go thousands of miles just to see you. But what exactly does military marriage look like? Perhaps only those who have experienced it personally understand the taste.
"I feel very happy to be able to stay in the same land with her." Since we got married, we have always been together for a long time. People often ask us about our feelings about our military marriage, and I will tell them the pride and sweetness in our hearts.
Sometimes it feels like fate is really a wonderful thing!
We are fellow townsmen. We joined the army in the same year, and in the same year, we were promoted to and were admitted to the same military academy. It was during our school that our original different life trajectories were intertwined, and fate began to sprout quietly.
"I fell in love with her at first sight, but I didn't dare to say it, so I had to hide it secretly in my heart." Now when we first met, many scenes are still vivid in my mind. After graduating from the military academy, we returned to our original units one by one, one in Zhejiang West , and the other in Zhejiang East . Love seems to be limited to mobile phone communication.
At that time, I read and read every text message from her, read and read, and even could recite it proficiently.
Time in another place has loneliness and satisfaction. We step on different lands, but we keep the same blue sky together. The soft moments of being together have become the most beautiful memory in our long-distance relationship. Getting together is the norm of military love, less romance under the moon, more eager love. But I know that fate makes each other meet in this life, and it is destined to sacrifice in some aspects.
After 4 years of long-distance love run, in 2016, we successfully entered the wedding hall. Life after marriage is undoubtedly sweet, and the hardships that "ordinary" families do not have. During her pregnancy, I, who was a grassroots instructor at the time, always missed the opportunity to accompany her to have a prenatal check-up due to the task needs, and she could only drag her heavy body to the hospital alone.
says that women can hold half of the sky, and the titles of "soldiers" and "military wives" make my lover hold up the whole family.
In 2019, a small life came, and the laughter brought about a unique vitality for the already happy family. But the good times didn't last long. The hospital heard the bad news that my son was suffering from hemangioma. My wife, who was still recuperating at home and I, who were in the army, were instantly disorganized. We felt unprecedented pressure. In order to cure the disease, my lover took the child to , Taizhou , Hangzhou, Shanghai and other places one after another, but even after the operation, the child has not recovered. The doctor just told us that the child's condition is basically stable and the possibility of recurrence is extremely small. Such an ambiguous answer makes the family's heart always hang.
By chance, my lover saw a news about "Double Military Transfer" in the newspaper. The black title attracted our attention. With a try-out attitude, I asked her to call and consult the relevant business department. After receiving a positive reply, I filled out the "Double Military Transfer Application Form".
was successfully transferred. Although I was in the same area, due to my job needs, I could go home only a few times a month. The important task of taking care of my son who was still infancy was firmly pressed on my lover's shoulders. She traveled back and forth between the government office and the family compound many times every day, but she never complained to me. The glory of motherhood and the perseverance of soldiers are perfectly combined at this time, filling the cracks in the family, making our special dual-soldier family more tenacious and complete.
From soldiers to officers, from campus to camp, from students to captains, we know each other in the military camp, fall in love with the military camp, our identities are changing, our experiences are changing, but our hearts have never changed. Thank you for your fate that made me meet you.
