Will it feel like an eternity?

Mr. V left for the army yesterday. I didn't cry much, unlike last time. I could feel my confidence.

Today, I feel it waning.

He called me at 1:30am last night to tell me they were going to take their phones away today and it would probably be a long time before I will hear from him again. It was hard to hear, and thank god I was half asleep. I just don't know how I can get through the next three months with minimal contact, if any at all. How do I keep myself busy enough that the time will go by and it won't be as bad?

I know this is nothing, in comparison to some of my amazing friends who have had their husbands deploy to a WAR ZONE and for a year+. I know he is safe. I know he will come home.

I must keep myself busy...and get a hobby. Maybe buy a sewing machine and do a tutorial online for beginning sewing?

  1. Just wanted to send you some love. There aren't any real answers or suggestions I can give, just know that I am thinking about you and just a phone call/email away if you need to vent.
