But where do we post our problems??

Hi Blue,

Thanks for asking. I am feeling just okay. It has only been a few days and the wound is very fresh. At times I feel okay and at other times I feel like someone ripped my heart out of my chest and stomped on it with steel-toed boots. Though, I know that time will make everything better. Thanks for asking, it really means a lot.

FTLOD -- How are you doing?? I can absolutely understand what you''re going through. My bf just got home from Afghanistan (he''s a company commander of an EOD -- explosive ordinance disposal -- company) in Dec. and I will say that those six months were the scariest time of my life -- I didn''t sleep much and there were nights when I cried myself to sleep. I''ve never been so sad as I was right when he left -- so just remember, it will get a little better soon!

You''ve been through this before, but I can''t imagine it gets any easier. I still bawl every time I hear that a soldier was injured in combat or when I see soldiers come home on TV. (Maybe I''M the one with post traumatic stress syndrome -- just kidding.)

There''s also another blog called www.cinchouse.com. It''s for military wives and gfs. I didn''t really like it, but it might have just been me! Other people probably do.

And I lived on chocolate alone while he was gone!!

Maybe this would help you -- half-way through his deployment, Bf and I started planning a vacation to take when he got back, but it gave us something to look forward to! And I ran a political campaign and redecorated my house and his house to pass the time while he was gone -- maybe you could find a really fun project to throw yourself into! That''s what I did and it helped a lot!

Just know that my thoughts and prayers are with you and your hubby. I know how tough it is.

If you ever need to talk, feel free to PM me. Big hugs!

Thanks for your concern. It means a lot. It is 6am and I am trying to get an instant messenger going on with my honey. He is having problems with his internet connection...which, sucks!! It is difficult and I have cried my share but I am adjusting slowly..I think.. I just miss him so much and want so badly for this to all be over soon.

My husband finished command of an artillery battery more than 2 years ago... I know what it is like for an officer to be in command and please thank your bf for his service to this country. Whenever I hear of an injured or killed soldier, I pray for them, but I also pray for their commanders because I know how they would be feeling and the stress that they are under at that time.

Thanks for the advice, you are sweet.

FTLOD: Hugs. I think the first few weeks will be the most difficult for you. It takes time to adjust to the seperation. I hope your heart feels better soon!
