He had 5 8-month deployments and 2 1-year deployments.<br />The heartache of it all will never get better, but you will learn to live with it. I don't mean that to sound harsh, but it is true.<br />It seems like forever, but take my advice...don't count the days, don't track the time, it just makes it worse. <br />Be sad if you're sad. Cry every day if you want. Be as happy as you can and never say "i'm fine" if you aren't. And after all, the best day is coming...homecoming!!MissBrightsidehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00550703704862321936noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7551831423453911791.post-65394703461027797492011-03-23T06:21:14.339-05:002011-03-23T06:21:14.339-05:00Thanks for sharing that bittersweet moment.

My heart breaks for you, i know how awful those first few days are and i hope you're doing better now that a little bit of time has passed. <br /><br />My husband is AF as well, and on his first deployment (six years ago?) I can remember standing out on the flight line with the guys, holding him tight and watching the jets take off. That rumble, that flash of heat and light, watching all of this happen... it's really something else and as sad as I was, it's hard not to be so full of pride in that moment. <br /><br />He's headed out on his fifth deployment this fall and i'm already counting down the days that I have left with him. Sick, I know but it's all part of the life we live. <br /><br />Anyway. Hugs, Prayers and so much love to you both right now. <3Rachelhttp://www.confessionsofajerseygirl.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7551831423453911791.post-16000090296639457052011-03-22T09:32:24.577-05:002011-03-22T09:32:24.577-05:00You are in my thoughts lady.
