    Name: dyzgoneby
    Location: California, United States

    I am married to a wonderful Marine and a mother of 5 darling children. Sniper has been home from his second tour in the Shitbox since July 2006. This will be my rants, raves and rumblings with my life with him as a Marine Wife, him dealing with life post Iraq and the Marine Corps next adventure for us. At times I may whine, I may cry and there maybe times I just don't make any sense and you think WTF. These are my feelings and my feelings alone. If you don't like what I have to say, click the "X" in the right corner and move on. Thank a vet for having that choice. If not, sit back and enjoy the peak into my crazy world.

    Leap of Faith

    Sometimes in life we have to take a "Leap of Faith" and know we are doing something in the grand scheme of things that is for our own good. We have to know there is something bigger out there that is just around the corner, you just have to take a chance. Life is all about chance and the roll of the dice.

    A friend of mine (she knows who she is) is taking that leap of faith and putting it into someone else's hands. Her and I have been talking for awhile about it. "Marine at Heart" know you are in my thoughts often and have been a good friend.

    You have have got me thinking alot about this lately.

    If I hadn't made that "Leap of Faith" with Sniper, we wouldn't be where we are today. I would still be wondering "What if?" I would still be crying my eyes out knowing how much I love him. I would still be dreaming what life "would have and should have been like."

    It took me 14 years of torture on my soul and shear hell, but....now I don't have to wonder anymore. I know what and where my life is going with us. I know what I would have missed if we hadn't taken the chance.

    Would we have made it back then to now? Probably, but we will never know and can't change the past. We can only change the future.

    I am not going to look back anymore, ponder, dwell, and contemplate over this. It is what it is. Life had a different plan and direction for us during this time.

    Sniper is my life. He is the first and only man I have ever loved. Ever. There has never been another person that has touched my soul to the core like he has. There has never been another person who has made me feel complete or whole as him. I have never let anyone as close to me as he is. He is the only one who I have been able to talk to and let my guard down with. He is everything and means the world to me. The love we have only comes around once in a lifetime. We truly are soulmates.

    Yes, our story or life is somewhat of a Fairytale. We got a second chance and this does not happen very often.

    Take that "Leap of Faith" today. Never look back on life and wonder "what if." Do something about it. Take that chance. What do you have to lose? Enjoy each and every day with "One Life and No Regrets."
