I've been there. It's amzing how their eyes roll back in their heads and they become as cold-blooded as a shark. I just don't understand how they can do this while we look at what the future holds for our families. I just don't understand why they don't have the same anxiety as we do. I guess they have already "processed that" as my WAW says. I cannot even look at pictures of my kids from when they were babies. It just kills me. Don't show any more weakness, though, and crying is a weakness at this point. It is hard. "I'm good at cutting off my feelings"...oh man.... New Years' Day will be another awkward one for you. I know because I was there last year. I think I told you this. W. took me to the airport on my way to Ft. Bragg, NC and on to Iraq. Kids were a mess. S8 and D15 were surgically attached to me. I had tears in my eyes. Not so much as a "take care of yourself", "be careful", "stay away from the blast radius"...nada..... They are just like sharks.
