Hey, guys. Well, he left for his year deployment on Tues. With all that has happened, I am actually glad and more prepared that it did.
I will handle this deployment much differently than before when he ended up having A's. I now know how home sick he gets and how hard it is for HIM to be away. I will not trouble him w/ how hard it may be for ME to be here at home taking care of 3 small boys, work, etc. I will just support him all I can. I have already sent cards that should be there before he got there.
I'm not so concerned that he will have an A over there. I am still a bit nervous that he may be still talking to OW/EA via phone or email while he's there, but I am going to give him the benefit of the doubt and myself the benefit of the doubt that I set the stage well enough that when he left and I saw the love shining in his eyes FOR ME that it was for real and that all will be ok. I just pray that he continues to remember all this and will make good "choices" while he's there.
Thanks for all the support through these hard times!
