Welcome angel18g/Angel
Quote From: angel18ghello,
I'm a mom of 4 kids and my hubby and i have been together for 16 years this thanksgiving . and it will be the 1st that we were not together. so I'm not happy at all tom will be Iraq about that time and i will be here. Tom has been in the national guards for 16 years and this is his 1st deployment. I did nothing but cry all day yesterday and so far today nothing.. which I'm happy about. i did not think i would hurt this much. i have never been apart from him this long. my kids are doing better than i am. my kids ages are 13 9 6 and 18mths. Angel I really think this kind of support is what a lot of folks who have loved ones in the service are looking for. Thanks you for your enthusiasm.
Each person who writes has a story to tell. We are all so different but we do have as least one thing in common. It is a hard job to “keep the home fires burning!” But it is something we CAN DO and something WE MUST DO! Tom is counting on you to be there for the kids and you can do that... one day at a time... one hour at a time. You may seem to be only going through the motions, but you can do this.
Mike is almost 1/2 done with his first 6 months there. It isn’t easier now but there is a new routine established for our family and we are getting through it together. You will to!
I hope we can help each other do this. I promise that I will be there for you! And in turn, I hope that you will become an partner here and that we can reach out to others as well.
Thanks again for writing and thanks for the lovely picture of your family!.
Blue (aka) Mike’s Mom
