Since my husband left for Basic, I have been reflecting on this change in our lives, and I am finding that everything I read makes me cry. Not in a sad way, necessarily, but I cry. Reading about sweet things other soldiers have done, reading about military widows- everything seems to make me mist up. Does this go away after a while, or am I doomed to having everu Chicken Soup for the Military Wife's Soul-like thing I see, read or hear send me into waterworks?

:tears

I'm sorry sweety I know it can be hard it will make you tougher though

yea that book .. broke me into tears also ...

:hugs itll get better with time

definitely gets better with time, but it's always hard to say goodbye

:hugs i cried for about half the time dh was in basic for no reason, and then every time i got a letter, and every time i would run into something of his around the house...... it'll get better though, and you will both be stronger for it :hugs

Aww thanks ya'll! I can't believe it, but all your sweet replies made me cry too. :sadeyes

It gets better. The first separation is always hard.

Hang in there sweetie. :hugs

I only have 19 days until my Marine gets out of Basic. Just when I thought that I was over crying it's back.

I suggest start buying the three packs of tissues.

Haha, I would have to go with her.... It does get easier with time, but I'm a very emotional person. Pretty much anything can set me off, especially if it's related to any of our military branches. Just remember, you can always rant/talk about it to us!
