The program "Tet Sum Vay - Meeting teachers and students who are wives and children of soldiers working at the border and islands" was organized by the Hanoi Education and Training Trade Union this morning, January 25, to encourage workers and students on the occasion of Tet and also to show gratitude for the contributions of soldiers working at the sea and islands.

In her sharing, Ms. Tinh said that she understood that every girl, when accepting love and agreeing to become a daughter-in-law of a soldier's family, can imagine a life without her husband every day.

“When I decided to live with him, I knew there would be days of separation. But because of my love for the soldier's uniform, I am willing to become a solid support so that he can work with peace of mind and complete his mission.”

However, it was not until she became a wife that she fully understood the hardships of being a soldier's wife.

“Although I know that the hardships of being a soldier’s wife in peacetime are nothing compared to those of a wife in wartime, deep down I still have a nagging thought that it is natural for a soldier’s wife to be away from her husband during wartime, while in peacetime every wife wants her husband to be by her side to be the pillar of the family. Yet very few wives get to fulfill that simple wish.”

From the days of pregnancy to the day of giving birth, Ms. Tinh relied on the support and care of both families. Because her husband had to stay at the unit to fulfill his assigned duties. When she was sick, Ms. Tinh also overcame her feelings of sadness to overcome it herself.

“When my child was sick, I had to take him to the doctor and take care of him. I thought I wouldn’t be able to overcome it. But thanks to my husband’s phone calls of concern, encouragement, and news of his safety and excellent completion of all tasks, my sadness was dispelled.

During short vacations, as if to make up for being away from home when his wife and children were sick, he diligently did all the housework, from washing clothes and baby diapers to going to the market, cooking, taking the children to school...

Seeing moments like that makes me feel lucky and happy. I am proud of my friends, colleagues and neighbors for having a husband who is a soldier on the island.

Besides encouragement from her husband, Ms. Tinh was also fortunate to receive help from both sides of her family, friends and colleagues, especially her mother-in-law, who is also a soldier, so she understands and loves her daughter-in-law very much.

“Although it is hard, I always feel happy and proud to be a soldier’s wife. I always tell myself that I have to be strong in the rear, live well and beautifully so that my husband can rest assured to complete his mission far away.

I understand that in the distant, sacred place of the country, there are not only my husband but also many other comrades. Therefore, like many wives and mothers in the rear, I will always try my best, just hoping that my husband will always stay healthy, keep his gun steady to protect the sovereignty of the Fatherland", Ms. Tinh shared.

Ms. Tinh is one of 31 teachers and staff of the Hanoi Department of Education and Training who are wives of soldiers working on the country's borders and islands. These wives and mothers deserve to be respected and praised for always trying to "be good at school and good at home".
