Coping with deployment is nothing like the other separations. It's a whole different ballgame.
I'm on an emotional high right now and the smallest things can make me tear up. The night he left, I was really quiet.
I was sick, and I'm sure he thought that was why I didn't talk much, but I figured that if I stayed quiet then I wouldn't cry. I knew I had to be strong for the kids' sake.
He'd already mentioned that maybe we shouldn't go to the departure ceremony and started giving reasons as to why we didn't need to be there. It was hot in the gym. The whole ceremony was only gonna last a few minutes.
I immediately cut him off.
There was NO WAY I was gonna miss seeing him off.
NOTHING was going to keep me from being there.

We are here if you need anything. Jay says he will totally mow your lawn.
Your family is in our prayers.
I'll be keeping you all in my prayers :)
Did this just now happen or has he been gone for a while already? I hope you have a strong group of supporters with you.. I know you do in blog land at least!
These pictures are priceless ~ you have a beautiful fam!
My prayers and positive thoughts to you and your family. One of my uncles, who is more like a father to me, is also in the armed forces, and it tore me up every time he was deployed. But each time he comes home healthy and happy, we get to give thanks all over again, and I know you will too. The pictures are very touching, and safe journey to your hubby!!
I am almost crying just reading this. The bears are very thoughtful.
I'm glad that you went as well. It would've been much harder had you not gone, I think. The bears were wonderful ways for the bond to still exist, no matter how far apart they will be.
Miss Missy looks just like her daddy!!
Hang in there! I hope you're feeling better.
Wow,I can't imagine. Take plenty of pictures to help dad with the time being away from the kids.
I really felt like crying when I read this post. I cant imagine how difficult this is for you.
thanks to you and your family for what you do for our country.
Oh, wow....I am at a lost for words but know I am thinking of you and your children.
