| My First Battle as an Army Wife

|
It is inevitible. It is tough for both the wife and the soldier. It is tough for the children. It is the soldier's job. It was what he signed up to do. It is a test to see how strong she is, he is and they are. It is a fear for every military spouse and it is a hope for peace. It is pride and courage that gets you through this. It is the support that keeps you sane. It is going on and doing everything you did before but alone. It is comforting your children who in return comfort you. It is worring every second of every day. It is keeping busy to keep from worring sick. It is hearing their voice, reading their letters, seeing their pictures to not forget their face. It is the care packages they are excited to receive. It is missing out It is Waiting. It is Hoping. It is praying for their safe reture. To be in their arms. To kiss their lips. To remember what its all for and how much they're worth it all. It is the love of the soldier to the spouse and the spouse's love for the soldier. It is the first battle. Our first battle as a military family. It is a deployment.
I can't say much about it, because I don't want to endanger my soldier, but he is deploying with the new unit for 15 months very soon. Too soon.
My plan is to stay here in MO until Oct and then we will go to FL for the winter. I've heard MO gets pretty bad in the winter and being I'm not use to snow I will go to a place where there is no snow :)
I've cried once, but I've been preparing myself for this since 1-21's deployment. Him being an MP now, it really didn't surprise me at all. I was hoping to have more time with him, but thats the way it goes, I guess.
