He leaves Friday

Moms View Message Board: The Fox Hole (War-Related Discussion): The Momsview Tribune (Share/View the Latest Updates on the War): He leaves Friday

We just got word that dh will be bording an airplane on Friday. Don't know what time yet but it is scheduled to happen on Friday. The kids start school the day before so he is trying to get the morning off so he can go to both class rooms. I knew this was coming but for some reason I thought in my heart I would be better prepared. I'm a mess. He will be in one of the "hot zones". It will only be his company in this location so there will only be 8 computers hooked up to the internet and probably even less phones. But I guess I can't complain because they could have none. He will be in a air conditioned building to sleep and hot meals will be provided for breakfast and dinner. So with that being said his living conditions are better than they were last time. Well enough rambling....We are going to have pictures taken to day so I better get the kids ready.

Kristie, hope you are ok today. Just wanted you to know I was thinking of you and your family. Please thank your dh for all he does for our country, it must be awfully hard to be a military wife.

Thinking of you today...............

By Jtsmom on Friday, August 27, 2004 - 03:09 pm:

I have been thinking of your family all day today. Couldn't wait until I had a moment to get on here to let you know that. Big hugs to you!!

By Insaneusmcwife on Friday, August 27, 2004 - 03:11 pm:

Thank you so much for thinking of me. It really makes me feel loved. He left as of 230am. I held strong until he told me it was time for me to leave. I'm not sure if he saw me cry or not when I got in the car. I tried so hard not to let him see, It only makes it harder for him to leave. The kids are doing good. They both went to school today. I already have a box started that I will have to mail to him of the things he forgot (cord for digital camera, lens cap for the new scope my dad bought him last night and his sun glasses) My friend took me to breakfast this a.m. and is trying her best to keep me busy. Her husband comes home from Iraq tonight ! This is very good news for the both of us. My dh helped take care of things for her and now he will do the same for me, kinda like a seraget hubby, just minus a few of the perks, lol! We were all stationed togeather in Okinawa so they are kinda like family. Well I'm going to go lay down and take a nap with dd before ds comes home.

By Amy~moderator on Friday, August 27, 2004 - 08:27 pm:

I'm glad the first day went well. And that is wonderful news about your friend's hubby being able to help you out. It is good that you have such a good couple to hang out with! ((((Kristie)))) You sound like you are staying strong.

By Tink on Friday, August 27, 2004 - 10:34 pm:

I'm so glad you have a great support system so nearby. Lots of hugs to you. You and your dh are both heroes in my eyes.

Sorry I got to this so late Kristie. (((HUGS))) I wont lie and tell you its not that bad because if I were you i'd be a mess too. But you know there are a ton of people to help you through, including me. 7 months, right? It may not seem like it now but you will look back upon this and see how quickly time passes. Visit me when you're down this way and if you ever need me just email me and tell me to head down there. More (((HUGS))) Call me if you need.

By Marg on Friday, September 3, 2004 - 08:36 pm:

I'm sorry I'm so late also. I didn't think it was so soon.

All of you and all the military families are in my prayers.

By Insaneusmcwife on Saturday, September 4, 2004 - 06:30 pm:

Thank you Melissa and Marg...I need all the hugs and prayers I can get. I was fine until I got that call today
