Why did I torture myself by watching Army Wives last night?!

Seriously, that show (and Coming Home, right after) should have a warning label: "hormonal pregnant women, watch at your own risk."

I cried EVERY time I saw a commercial....that black car pulling up in your driveway is every military wife's single greatest fear. *shiver*

I was bawling my eyes out the ENTIRE episode. We're talking heaving, snorty sobs where I could hardly catch my breath. We buried a very, very dear friend at Arlington National Cemetery this past summer, and watching that episode brought back very vivid memories of that day. The 21 gun salute. The folding of the flag. The memory of my husband saluting his good buddy for the last time....

My eyes are tearing up again just thinking about it!

I was a SOBBING BAWLING baby the whole time, INCLUDING Coming Home.  What the EFF?!  It was soooo sad, and I couldn't stop crying.  My husband had to come home from his first deployment to burry his brother who was going into the Marines.  My husband cried when they showed the open casket because it reminded him of his brother.  Super sad.  None the less, I still LOVE the show, and am excited for this season.  My husband and I just refer to Sundays as "the crying day" because of those 2 shows, haha.

Ug, no! I refused to watch it, since the commercial made me cry. Since we are both in the Army I have to worry about getting that knock on the door, and being the reason for that knock on the door!

I can't watch that show. Just the previews have me bawling.

When I was 10 years old I opened the door to 2 Navy men in their uniforms and listened to my Mom screaming behind me. Both my Dad and his twin brothers were Navy fighter pilots (all were out of town) and for a few seconds we didn't know who it was. It was one of my uncles... but I will never, ever forget that. Ugh. Heartbreaking.

I know!!!!  I lost my husband in '09 and when I watched that last night I cried from the start to the finish.  Okay I should say cry I bawled!!!

Oh my gosh, I cried the whole time too!  It was like torture and I wish I wouldn't have watched it.  I was upset for about an hour later thinking about all the men and women who died for our country and how many families had situation similar to those on the show.

I almost posted the same thing! I just got done watching it and my sleeves of my shrit are soaking wet from the out loud sobbing that just occured! I won't even watch Coming Home because I know there is no way I could handle it.

Last week it was Criminal Minds, this week Army wives...who's gonna make me cry next week?!

Coming home reminds me of my husbands homecomings. That show always makes me cry. I have to take super deep breaths. I cry even thinking about my husbands homecomings. But I think army wives and coming home are good shows for others to watch to see some of the types of difficult things military families have to go through. Even now, during our first pregnancy, my husband is gone about 3x or more a week and I only see him about 4 days of the week, because of his job and the military lifestyle. Its can be very hard and can be very emotional at times. .
