I dont post often, but today was a "bad" day...
My husband is currently deployed and Ive been doing really well, keeping busy etc etc...Today i was off work and put together a care package of snacks and candy and magazines and took them to the post office. When I was there, a man asked, "who are you sending all those goodies too?" I told him it was for my husband, on deployment. The man reached over, grabbed my hand and said, "thank you for supporting your husband while he is keeping our country free."
This is the first time this has happened to me, and I was so touched i started crying....the man apologized, but obviously, it wasnt his fault, i guess it was the right cord to hit at that moment.
So the rest of the day has been spent doing chores around the house and I was listening to Pandora and this song came on by Lifehouse called "from where you are" which sent me into another fit of tears as I was matching up socks....
Then my hubby sent me an amazing email which started the waterworks all over again...
This is the first deployment as a couple, and as married, and I know it is going to be hard, Im prepared for that, and I thought I had a good handle on it...but today was just a day that i guess I was alone too long in my head and my heart got the better of me...
DH doesnt come back until March-ish, but I might be able to see him at one of his ports hopefully at the end of the year...
Sorry for posting a random rambling post, but all my family is eastcoast and im westcoast and no one will appreciate me calling them at 1am crying my eyes out lol.....
Re: I dont post often, but today was a "bad" day...
Sometimes it feels good to cry it out.
Don't assume your family won't want to talk to you just because of the time! Even though my brother is on the West coast, he knows he can call me anytime if he needs to talk- and he does. That's what family is for!
I hope your weekend gets better!

This is our first deployment as a married couple too, and he's been gone almost a year. I still cry myself to sleep at least once a week. It's good to have a release. I hope this deployment passes quickly for you!
