The tears eventually stop, right?
Saying goodbye has never been so hard. I thought when I left the States... left my family & friends... that it couldn't get much harder than that.
And then my husband leaves for a deployment.
Suddenly, that 2 hour ride to the airport followed by a 10 1/2 hr plane ride and a 6 hr car ride to "home" for me doesn't sound nearly as overwhelming as it did almost 3 years ago.
Now, I'd give anything to be able to follow that itinerary to see my husband.

Isn't that the truth. Hang in there, I'm right behind you....
I can remember the first few days of the deployment I was felt so awful, and I kept on thinking: no way can I handle feeling this way for the whole deployment. But I would say after 4 weeks it got better. I got used to the routine of him not being there. It sounds awful to say, however, it was replaced by new deployment related routines. The beginning is the hardest, it's like ripping off a bandaid.
We are thinking about you. Thank you for the pictures. We miss you. You can do this.
It will get easier. And call me any time you want to talk...
Well you are not alone. I would say this is the hardest part, but it's all hard. The thing to do is just concentrate on the positive. During the last deployment I concentrated on care package and letters, got involved around post in classes and volunteering. Hope it gets better for you ...
I'll tell you what I told Scout when he left for Iraq: The worst part is over. The worst part is over.
The rest of it will suck too, but the worst part is over.
Call me when you're ready to chat. I love you, girl.
I just want you to know that you aren't alone. I'm thinking of you and praying that you and your love will be together soon. I remember, too, the terrible pain in my heart--especially at first, until the "new normal" routine set in. Hang in there.....
