I cry every time I get off the phone with him.
He just called.
I'm happy to hear he is ok. The trip to Iraq from Kuwait is quickly approaching. I am a little nervous about it.
I know I will have cried two thousand gallons of tears.
I think the crying and stress is making me lose weight.
3 pounds in one week and 3 days.
Well send me good vibes so i'm not nervous!!!!

:cheerup i know it sucks.... just keep busy...time will fly by faster that way..you know what my mom used to make one of those paper chains and hang it aroung the house or room...and then everyday we'd take off one to show how close it was til my dad came home...i think i'm going to do that w/ DD when it's time for DH to go....:hugehug

:hugs I know the feeling, When I talk to my DH I get sad after because I miss him so much, just stay busy, I'm glad you got to hear his voice :hugehug

I'm sorry :( I was nervous about him going from Kuwait to Iraq too. When he was in Kuwait, I missed him but I wasn't all that worried about him. He reminded me that he's done this before, he knows what he's doing, and if something does happen (heaven forbid) it will have been totally out of our hands... so I shouldn't worry. Same for you hun. Your SO is a Sargent, he knows what he's doing, and I don't think he would want you to worry, although it's really hard not to. Pm me if you want, it sounds like in a lot of ways were are in the same boat. We WILL be okay :)

Hang in there & try to stay positive sweety:hugs

You'll be o.k. That first month is really hard an I cried my eyes out constantly when he just left. It will get better soon and before you know it he'll be back with you again :yes :hugs

yeahh girl it's okay to cry! Make sure you are eating enough though! And if you are eating and still loosing weight than that's okay:) You will look sexy in a pair of jeans lol.

keep your head up

Hang in there. Just try to focus on positive things and focus on improving yourself while he's gone. That really helped me to deal with all the emotions. Find something, even just one small thing, that you want to improve in yourself and focus all your attention on achieving that. It will start to really go by much more quickly if you stay busy and divert your attention as much as possible, I promise!

You girls really help me a whole lot. I just want to say thank you for everything.
Damn I love this place.
