Deployment.....

There's just moments of this deployment that it takes everything in me to not break down and cry. I have moments where I feel so alone it takes my breath away. The tears welt up and I have to literally swallow the lump in my throat. I am a marine wife I have been through this before and these moments pass just as quickly as they come on. It could be the snow outside to trigger the event, or a song, or a simple cooking of the dinner. Deployments never get easier, but in time it will all be over with.

Tonight was one of those nights here for me.... The silence on facebook and the current circumstances of the deployment just set in. And for a moment I have felt more alone than I ever have. Knowing that there would be no IM chat tonight or a phonecall. Nothing to look forward to and nothing to do since it is almost time for bed for the kids. So I came to finally blog. It's been a long deployment and we are half way through but the hardest part is just beginning for us. A booze cruise turned into the real deal and now the worry begins.

I have to stay strong for my Children, for my husband, but there are those moments when the pain just takes your breath away and you feel as if you can't go on. So now that I am through my moment I am off to be Strong once again, for him, for me, for my babies. Adapt and overcome. Oorah Semper Fi
