“Anyone can give up, it's the easiest thing in the world to do. But to hold it together when everyone else would understand if you fell apart, that's true strength.” ~unknown
We started deployment #3 this week. This one is a tad different. Lots will be missed - birthdays, holidays & anniversary. Previously we knew an approximate length. This one everything is up in the air. It will be months before there is a better idea of when they will be home. I think that's harder than dealing with the actual separation. We're used to that part by now. Even the kids. They are young but used to daddy coming & going. Only time will tell, though. R is old enough to have some sense of time. Before Mr left we took a family trip to San Fransisco. Had a good time & will blog about it another day with pictures. R & L started preschool last week. They seem to be enjoying it & meeting other kids. I know I am enjoying my time to get stuff done.
