I am fine
I think I mentioned I was going away for a few days with Lisa (one of my girls). We are having an awesome time and I have tons of pictures when I get home to share.
It's the first time in a long time that I have just had some FUN and it's a well needed escape from reality. You all are so wonderful, I love you but no need to worry, I am raising some hell and twisting a soldiers fiancee' 
. He should be a happy soldier when I get done with her

Military wife, I am so sorry for what all of you go through. It is the
leaving, loneliness and I am not sure how financially secure most are. I am going to begin some prayer groups just for troops and families of the military. Love to all of you. Be blessed.

being that I don't know anybody who is in Iraq. . , and didn't have anybody close to me who was deployed to Desert Storm, I truly appreciate posts like this one. It keeps me in touch with the realities of the war, how it affects others, and gives me a different perspective from what I'm seeing on television.
Very nice post. Thanks.

I was only on the phone with her and I was crying almost as hard as she was. While I am looking forward to my husband coming home for leave, I am not looking forward to letting him go again.

Wow. It must have to be so hard to have to put your lover on plane, and say goodbye.

Though that comment I am thinking it is actually Wild Woman. I have to admit I will be glad when this military carreer ENDS! As for my girls, it doesn't matter what paths we take, something tells me we will always find our way to one another.

Thanks for the read. As you know it has been a busy month in our little world. I enjoy reading about "The Girls". Being active duty for over 25 years and living on post the girls always made the bad times tolerable. I still miss being in the military.

I couldn't do it without them...we hold each other together and we all take turns falling apart. When this year is over there are many that I will probably never so much as exchange and email with again...these girls, will always be a part of my life.

It was not quite a year ago when we got that dreaded phone call that our soldiers had been mobilized; had you asked me then if I could handle this, I would have said no.
We find our strength when we need it, I have no doubt that you have to strength to handle whatever curveballs life throws your way.
