#milspouses

There is truly nothing in this world that makes you feel the way you do when you find those people who love your kids as much as you love them. The people you can vent about everything and anything without judgement. Someone you can laugh endlessly with. Someone you can have serious conversations- No matter the difference of opinions. Someone you can count on even if they are miles away or just down the street. Someone you lean on when your spouse isn’t there. Your child’s second mommy or daddy. No one can replace that.

I truly and deeply appreciate every one of my friendships I have. I couldn’t do it without them. I love them as my family and their kid’s as my own ♥️
