I'm sending <<<HUGS>>> your way, too. It's not an easy life. (The Furry Guy was a marine when I married him.) If it helps at all, we certainly appreciate the sacrifices you're making for us. Happy anniversary. May this be the last one that you spend outside of his arms.

{{{{{{{{{HUGS}}}}}}}}}} I can only imagine how difficult it is to be alone during times when you truly want your DH around.

Awe shucks! That is terrible!! But being an Army wife, I know the hecticness of DH trying to get to a phone!

If you ever need a shoulder to lean on, email me! I am always looking for a "buddy" to learn on myself. Someone in the same boat, ya know?

I feel for you----xoxo

Happy Anniversary! Just so you know I am amazed by the strength of the woman who do this on their own while there husbands are overseas. And we appreciate the sacrifices you make.

OH! if ONLY!!! i already know i'm not getting next year! we are coming up on another deployment and already know that the time they are "set" to leave and how long they "should" be staying i know that i won't get him next year either. its ok though. i'm just hoping that maybe they will push back departure just long enough for him to be home for our oldest's 3rd birthday. not counting on it but hoping anyway.

thank you everyone for the support. i really don't look at it as a sacrifice. it's my hubby's job and i married a soldier. when his country calls him away, he goes. it becomes my job to keep the home fires burning and keep it together. i knew that going in, so i refuse to complain routinely about it. it is that reason he says he got himself a good one. anyway, time to suck it up and drive on.
time for a nice hot bath after what feels like not stop running for the last month.

and thank you everyone again for the support!
