I'm really about to cry

CandKmomma

DH is a volunteer firefighter.  He spends the night there once a week.  He was there for Thanksgiving, he is there tonight and he will be there New Years Eve.  Thanksgiving and NYE, I'm fine with....but I can't believe he wasn't here to play Santa with me on our DS first Christmas.  I feel so sad and lonely.

DH is a cop and I'm all alone, too. Boo hoo for us!!!

Really, though, I'm trying not to be too bummed out about it since ds doesn't even know what's going on this year. DH promises me that once DS is into Santa he'll get Christmas Eve off.

I'm so sorry to hear this, but can I please just say that I sleep easier at night knowing that people like your wonderful DH are standing by, protecting my family should we find ourselves (God Forbid) in our time of need? I think that men like him are likely to go above and beyond to save my LO should need be, and I thank all 3 of you for your sacrifices. So often, people forget to remember those who suffer alongside those who serve, so I'd just like to take this moment and say THANK YOU for giving up your precious time with DH so that we can all be a little more safe this Christmas Eve. {{hugs}} Youre a good wife. And you deserve to be with your DH safe and sound this holiday and each one to follow.

You just made me cry.  Thank you for the words.  I sometimes am so busy complaining about poor me that I forget he is involved in something amazing.

I sincerely meant every word. You're not complaining! You love your DH and want to spend time with him!! I can think of worse fates, LOL! Often, I find myself teling my DH how much I love him and how happy he makes us, and I'm positive the same can be said for you and yours. We adore our families. So sue us! LOL. I'm pretty sure none of us can fault you for wanting your family together for your first Christmas Eve. {{double super smooshie hugs}}

Right there with you, kind of. DH is deployed, and it really sucks to not have him here for our first Christmas with little bit. I know she won't remember, and it's more about me, but it still sucks balls.

I feel your pain.  DH misses DS's first Christmas too.  He is deployed and won't be home for months.  He'll miss his first birthday as well.

As always, huge super duper super sized hugs to our military mamas.

I am usually not snarky, but really??

It's one day. It's not like he's pulling an allnighter with his drinking buddies. He's out saving people's lives.

There are many, many woman who are not only doing it alone TODAY but their husbands are missing their baby's first birthday, first teeth, first steps. Yes, it could be much worse. And sometimes family is so far away so they are completely alone.

Yeah, that's not really appropriate... Try again later.

Seriously?  Did you NEED to do this?   She's sad her dh missed a big part of their child's first Christmas.  Add in that he missed Thanksgiving & will miss NYE and I think ANY person would be sad.

You must be missing the compassion gene or something.
