DH goes back to Afghanistan

[Shadowhills Farm]

Thank your family and him for your service. It is very much appreciated. Thoughts are with you!

DH will be shipping out the end of August for Boot and AIT at Ft. Sill.....

Wow, sorry to hear that! I think I would rather have him be gone the whole time than sent home for a visit only to have to return to the war. My dh is getting ready to head to Afganistan this fall and I am not looking forward to it at all. This will be the first time in his career (14yrs) and our marriage (13 1/2yrs) that we won't be together for Thanksgiving and Christmas. It kinda sucks we are way over here so far from family so we can't even make a short trip home for the holidays.

I hope the rest of the time he is gone goes by quickly for you!

Grrr. I am so frustrated/devastated. DH got up before the alarm, and didn't wake me. He ended up waking me up about 1 minute before he left. Just had time to kiss him, and he was gone. Although I didn't start freaking out until after he left... which may have been why he didn't wake me earlier. i hate when he's gone, and am so sad. thanks for the prayers, we need them.

I'm glad that he got to come home and see you for the short while, although sometimes I prefer they don't come home... It makes me miss my hubby even more when he's home for two days and then back out, grr. I hope the rest of his deployment goes by quickly for your sake and your kids. I have had several friends go out to afghanistan and one with two tours of ground infantry in iraq, all made it home safe and sound, and I hope your hubby flies on the wings of the angels over there. It's tough, but you can do it.

Glad you got your kiss

My fiance' deploys to Iraq for a year in March, it will be his 3rd tour, but our first together. We are trying to get our wedding plans done and over with before he goes. Wish I had more time, but I am trying to make every moment with him count until he leaves. Myself I am trying not to think about it too much but I know I will agonize when February gets closer

R&R is what you make it. Knowing that they will only be here for a couple of weeks and keeping that in the back of your mind is necessary to letting go again. It's tough, but my DD said, "Well the tour is now more than half gone, and I'll back home very soon" That's the kind of mindset that you have to have.

Must be tough being married to someone in the military when you "hate" it.

Thank you all our troops. Everyone Have a Safe and Happy 4th Of July -- these men and women have worked hard and made many sacrifices to keep us free.
