DH is gone til November...

Yesterday I had to drop DH off at the airport, I won't see him again until July. He joined the Air Force Reserve when I was pregnant with DS, and had to leave for basic training. In Texas. When he's done with basic he will have another 4 months in tech school. We will be allowed to visit him when he's done with BMT, but its all the way in TX, an 18 hour drive so who knows how possible thats going to be with a LO. I was ok yesterday because I got to talk to him until he got to his base, but he apparently called me in the middle of the night for one last phone call and I missed it. I'm not so ok today. =(

    I am so sorry that he needed to leave, but I am thankful for his service. I cannot imagine how you lovely military wives do it, but I know you are strong enough. I know it stinks, but he is doing something wonderful for his family and country. ((hugs)) we are here if you need us!

    Oh the missed calls are awful! But it gets better! I promise. The first few weeks of a separation are the hardest. It gets easier after that, though. You'll start to fall into a routine and it'll help a lot. Try to find some other military wives/mothers to talk to. (I assume you're living in a non-military area.) As much as your civilian friends will try, no one understands what it's like like another military spouse. But you'll get through it. And you'll realize that you are stronger than you ever gave yourself credit for! Good luck. And even though my husband is out of the service now, feel free to message me if you want to talk.

    Oh wow that must be so hard!  I know you're probably thinking that it's going to seem like so long, but you'll fall into your routine and the time will start flying by.  One day at a time!  Focus on your LO, skype/email/text/call him whenever you can, and before you know it, he'll be back.  We're here for you!!!  <<Sending internet hugs>>

    Like PPs I give you and your family a lot of credit!  I'm sure it's not easy by any stretch of the imagination.  Talk about him frequently- that always helps me when I'm missing someone!

    That must be really hard.  I just don't know how military families manage - but I'm sure thankful that they do!  You & your husband are awesome for what you are doing for our country!  Thank you!

    I hope you've got lots of support nearby.  My husband travels 1 week out of each month and although that is minor compared to what you are facing - I know that having people over in the evenings as often as possible has been a huge help.  Just for the company.  You have someone to have dinner with & and adult to talk to (instead of all the one-way conversations with LO) 

    Hang in there!

    Thanks girls, I don't actually know anybody around me that has a husband in the military so nobody to talk to really. I'm actually going to stay with my mom while he is in basic so I'm sure that will help.
