You are a sweetie, I don't care what Passion says about you. Seriously, thank you...it takes an effort from
both of us, I do not do this by myself. If he wasn't the kind husband he is I would not be the kind of wife I am.

It's quite refreshing to see the bond of love and how it is supposed to work..........you are a good woman, a rare breed and a wonderful find.

Quirky
We both tend to struggle with this seperation (we tend to be attached at the hip under normal circumstances
). Now, that it could be nearing an end and his leave is getting closer, I think it's making it worse lately. Kind of like trying to sleep on Christmas Eve, it seems to take forever before morning.

it's got to be so hard but i just truly admire the strength and even the courage you have shown..... you have made being the "wife at home supporting the deployed soldier" such a beautiful statement. some women would fall into one hell of a "woe is me" pity party.... but you are pro-active, you have just done SO much, and really represented your husband and your love for him in really physical and beautiful ways with your articles, involvement, Grace for Soldiers, support of your girls and soldiers..... the things you say, the way your relate to this life touch me daily.... i know these aren't things to help you sleep at night, esp. when this man of your heart is so far away and fighting in a war BUT these are still real things. i am beyond grateful for your presence here...... for the communication we have shared..... i admire you, dear....

Your Touching Post...
...brought to mind a favorite song by a favorite singer:
Shanghai Breezes
John Denver
It's funny how you sound as if you're right next door
when you're really half a world away
I just can't seem to find the words I'm looking for
to say the things that I want to say
I can't remember when I felt so close to you
it's almost more than I can bear
And though I seem a half a million miles from you
you're in my heart and living there
And the moon and the stars are the same ones you see
it's the same old sun up in the sky
And your voice in my ear is like heaven to me
like the breezes here in old Shanghai
You and your husband will be in my prayers, as are all of the people involved in this war. May it all end soon, and may our time there not have been in vain!
Hugs!
AJ

I know if I made it this far, I can manage the rest....somedays just kind of get to me. The windows are great. I'm sitting here with all of them opened and enjoying the nice cool air.

You are very right. I know that I am incredibly blessed to have someone who misses me as much as I do him...even if I do get to feeling sorry for myself on occasion

Try to take comfort in the fact that someone misses you and wants you beside him. It really hurts when no one does. (Or if you don't know if someone far away does or not.)

Passion that is exactly how it feels. Only 2.5 more months and it will be his turn for leave...I suppose when I look back at 9 months, it really isn't that long.

I'm very sad for you...I know how that feels - it's like
Part of you is missing and there's a void till they get back.
