The time has come... - During Deployment

08-18-2006, 11:04 PM

Jon left a few days ago for Iraq. This is the most painful thing I have ever had to do. We have been apart for a while but spending the 2 weeks w/ him made it so hard to say good bye. I was good and didnt cry in front of him. I just can stop thinking that I should have held him more, kissed him more, held his hand more. I really give you navy, airforce, and marine wives who have to do this SO often some major credit. This is just so painful. I havent even jumped into my life yet. Im in PA with my family taking a break b4 I have to take the drive to Florida. And I have to start classes on Monday. I dont know if i can even stand that right now. I havent talked to him yet but he said he would call as soon as he can. How long did it take for your SO to call you when he was on his way to the sandbox? I just really needed to let this out b/c I havent really been able to talk to anyone. Thanks for even reading.

MY dh called me in Germany on the way (they got delayed)
then he called again from Germany cause they got REALLY delayed.
Any he was supposed to call from Kuwait but he didn't so it was like 1 week before he got to where he was supposed to be and was able to call. Army is probably different though cause their equipment is already there. Dhs command had to take everything with them on the plane, hence the reason for the delays the weapons can only go on certain flights.
You will hear from him soon. Stay strong and busy

I know it's hard! When dh left last Sept. I was so good, I just gave him a hug and left early. I couldn't watch him walk away from me. R&R I was bawling at the airport. Hang in there! The time will fly fast! Keep busy!

I know that when Randy went to the sandbox I received a short email when he arrived in Kuwait. It was about 3 or 4 days after he thought he would be leaving for the sandbox. Stay strong and busy. I too cried like a baby when I had to leave him at the base back in March. Feel free to email me at tchse@aol.com or ibtfybj@yahoo.com
