Wow Cadesmom!!! Good for you! I like that positive behavior. One nice thing about the deployment, maybe this could be an opportunity for you to create a very strong romantic bond with your husband through letters and messages? Sometimes it's easier to express feelings through correspondence.

I know when my husband's out of town, I'll send him funny, romanic, silly, or just nice messages once in awhile. I didn't always used to do this in the past. But now I've noticed It seems to keep us connected and closer when we're apart.

There is no arriving, ever. It is all a continual becoming.
