You might probably think that I am crazy, but I find those deployments so romantic and so bonding!!! My Hubby is currently gone for over 7 months and even though I worry about his safety, I feel somehow hyped by romantic patriotism... There is nothing more amazing than being a warrior's wife!!!
Every time he deploys it's so sweet to help him pack his bags, while adding some caring touch and concern into a big pile of brownish stuff... Here and there a tear falls, but it's overly very romantic, even though you know, that a day or two after he is gone, you will not let a screwdriver out of your hand - mean things just start breaking... LOL
Military life - very demanding but also very rewarding... As a military spouse I can't imagine a better life, better marriage... I love it, no matter how hard it is sometimes - you just embrace it, because that's your part of service before self!!!
Wind is to fire like distance is to love; it extinguishes the small and enflames the greatdoc-to-be
