I Belong Over Here

Hi Red,
I've been reading your posts, and it's great. I'm very happy for you.

I just recently retired from the US Navy, so I'm a little familiar with the strains on a marriage caused by separation and the military.

I honor, respect and applaud you and your husband's sacrifices. The military life is so hard, and so hard on families. Most civilians don't really have a clue what it's like. You are an amazing woman and person, and incredibly strong.

One month to go! Wow. And I think it's great that you have that shot of realism in your head too, namely " know once he's home for a week or so (or even a day) and then when he's home for good, that things will get back to "normal" and then we'll be dealing w/ the old day to day stuff," But you're ready for it.

Yay Red!
