A tribute to the women who uphold the written and unwritten oaths of service and of marriage.

All military personnel swear an oath to uphold the constitution and protect our country, while their spouses takes the unwritten oath to live a life of frequent moving, lengthy separations and endless anxieties. Their commitment requires a unique blend of patriotism, dedication, hard work and, most of all, flexibility.

The stories in Chicken Soup for the Military Wife's Soul are written by military family members and the courageous women who themselves serve in the military. They celebrate the women who unite with kindred spirits to raise families, maintain homes and uphold the most positive attitudes when facing the fears of losing a loved one.

Each page in this special volume celebrates the unique bond between military wives and spouses and their dedication to home and country.

I've never met Laura, but she worked with my husband (at the time) at a grocery store. He worked in the bakery and had for years, and she worked behind the meat counter.

Laura talked to my husband and when he told her that I had written an "Angel Book," she had to have it. He gladly sold her a copy and she read it in less than two days. Laura told him how much she loved the book - she talked about it quite a bit.

Less than one week later, my husband comes home with the horrific news that Laura's husband had been killed in a boating accident.

That news threw me back to the time when I suddenly lost my brother in a mountain climbing accident. The story of Angel On Board has the angels and people walking side by side and interacting, although, usually only one plane of beings is aware of the interaction. I suddenly worried if thinking about angels among us would frighten her or comfort her. Because I know it would have freaked me out to think of that during the time immediately after my brother's death.

Questioning myself like that, I began to question the book's purpose and if the book that had helped so many people also might possibly make a terrible situation worse. I got so scared, in fact, that I imagined quitting it all together. I didn't want to hurt anyone.

What I figured I would never be able to find out was if it actually did have any impact - positive or negative - on her situation. So, I tried to let it go, but I couldn't. I certainly wasn't going to ask her, besides I'd never met her. There was just nothing I could do.

A few weeks later, I went shopping in the grocery store where both Laura and my husband worked. And from the other side of the store, someone called my name. It was another one of my husband's coworkers, but this one, I did know from the employee parties and such. She ran over to me and asked me if I'd heard about Laura. I told her I had and she proceeded to tell me how grateful Laura was for having just read Angel On Board. Laura went home the night he died and started to read it again.

It had helped.

And an answer to a question that I never thought I would be able to get came running at me from the other side of the supermarket! Ask and ye shall receive. . .

God bless you Laura and the loved ones who took care of you when you needed them most - especially your angel loved ones.
