Michelle,

I have to be consistent. Boys are doing fine. They definitely enjoy our frequent contacts over the phone and by email.

I am holding on to that. W knows how much I care for the Boys. I'm OK. As you know it's tough. Very tough at times. I didn't know I could hold this long...20 months of separation is tough. But I have to look on the bright side. No divorce...yet. The loneliness is the hardest. I might as well be deployed again. even a deployment is shorter than 20 months...

Anyway, and so it goes...
