I haven't cut his hair since he got back. His scalp was covered in scars that were never there before. :tears He's gone in to get his hair cut, but he needed a cut before work tomorrow, so I did it. Here's how the convo went..

Me: Looks like back of your head got chewed up

Him: I dunno, I can't see the back of my head.

Me: Yea, you're missing alot of hair, there's a big one right here, and another here, and here, and here..

Him: I didn't know, I don't look at the back of my head

Me: Are those all from one day, or a collection of different times?

Him: I don't know I don't look at the back of my head. Just cut my hair, OKAY?

Me: Don't get lippy with the woman who holds the clippers..

Him: Next time use the number two guard so people can't see them.




It's sad.... He's gone though so much, and he never wants to talk about it. I suppose I'm okay with that, I understand. It just pisses me off that I can actually see the physical scars he has.. And I have to imagine what he looks like on the inside. :sadeyes I love him so much.

yeah. It makes me sad to see DHs scars too. He has a permanent bump on his head where they couldn't take the glass out. It is his souveneir from his 2nd deployment.

Thanks Jen.. I'm not doing anything that you wouldn't do, I'm nothing special..

:hugs

I hate that part of this life.


I hate it too... It's one of those things that happens behind closed doors that nobody else sees, nobody else can relate to. It really breaks my heart..

That's really sad about his scars, I can't even imagine what he went through over there. DH was in Iraq but he wasn't in combat for which I'm eternally grateful. :hugs to you and your DH

I just wanted to :bigsadhug you. I teared up reading that too. You really are amazing, and I hope he never takes your love for granted.

With me, DB will start to tell me something, and then just get all glassy-eyed and you can literally see him go "off into the distance" to God only knows what kinds of dark caverns in his mind because of all the shit he's seen... it breaks my heart too. Hopefully, I'll be able to keep strong for him like you do. :wub
