Hi Ladies.


Rick left for Iraq just a couple of hours ago. It was really, really hard on all of us. So far I have held it together ok. Although I had to wait in the parking lot with another spouse for 45 minutes because neither one of us were fit to drive. The girls have been gushing tears, which will only get slightly better as the deployment goes on. I know I will lose it when I go to climb in my empty bed. I love this man so much it hurts. He brushes my hair, makes breakfast and dinner on his days off. He tucks the girls in every night he is home.

Hi Donna,


It has been a long day. Every time the phone rings I get excited thinking it might be Rick calling from his lay over in Germany. So far it hasn't been.I know I won't be getting any decent sleep for a while.
Take good care.
Love you,
Cyn

Cyn-


I am so sorry you and your family are in this circumstance. I don't think I would hold up too well if it were my dh, but you are stronger then me and I will pray for you and your dh and children. It sounds like you have a keeper in dh. He sounds great. My heart really goes out to you. I don't know what else to say.

Hi Missy,


Thank you so much for the support. I wish I could make him come home too. But, since I can't we will deal with it day by day.
How are you doing?
Have a good weekend.
Lots of love,
