3 months is a long time though. Its just hard to be away from someone you love.
Oh sweetie. I know how much you and your daughter are going to miss him. Are you able to write? If you can, send him a care package.
@SoontobeMrsA: I can write to him... but he doesn't want anyone to write to him for the first few weeks so he can make his relationship with God stronger.
@cyndistar3: After a month, send him pictures of you and your girl. Have her make him a pic. I have a friend who deployed for a year and that is what his wife did.
We are all here for you.
*hugs*
ive been doing this for over a year, its tough i wont lie to you but at the end of the day you just have to pull through.
and the way i think about it is the sooner he leaves the sooner you get to see him again, count down the days, thats what ive done and i find it helps, it gives me something to look forward to, i hope it helps you too:)
PM me if you ever want to talk
@SoontobeMrsA: I plan to. Thank you so much for your support. I am just really not ready, I was supposed to have a month left with him =(
Keep your chin up! Look at it like the first test of many. Soon, 3 months won't seem so bad =]. You do get used to it and remember that it's better for your family in the long run! A little pain now=better later
@misspandy: Thanks =) I am just having a really hard time seeing the bright side right now... like we could possibly move the wedding up now, but I was so looking forward to this last month with him =(
@cyndistar3: I know. I thought you had more time but because he is leaving earlier, he'll be back earlier-and when he gets back you should be able to play outside with your girl.
*Hugs* I am sorry he's leaving early. It's really tough.
On the bright side? He'll get home a month early, right? And that means maybe it will make planning the wedding a little easier?
Write a lot once he is up for it! And send lots of pictures! If you do a care package, double check what they are allowed to have so he won't get in trouble. = )
We're here for you!
another long distance-er here (1.5 years so far)... it sucks to have to be apart, but your relationship will have endured a real strength test and bring you guys closer together! good luck girl, we're here if you need us!
Don't believe him-- write him as much as possible. I've been through bootcamp with a guy and it is harder on them emotionally than physically. He will cherish every single letter and be so very glad you wrote. As soon as they allow them to receive things send him gifts. cookies, gum, whatever. It means a lot.
Bright side is that he'll be home a month earlier than you thought, right? :)
Thanks everyone it means a lot to me to have your support. He is leaving today at 3pm... still sooner than I thought... I can't stop crying =( I will be back later with pictures of the new ring =)
Well my FI has misplaced my camara, so when I find it I will take pictures and put them on...
@cyndistar3: I'm so sorry! Try to immerse yourself into things so it doesn't bother you as much, I know it has to be extremely hard for you. :(
Oh I forgot about this post... if you didn't read my other post he is still here and might leave tuesday but if not he will leave on the 7th
@cyndistar3: Like the others said, the leaving is the hardest part. Once you get past that and the first day or so, you'll be alot stronger. Set mini countdowns for yourself. Get through the first day, then the first week, then the first month...next thing you know, 3 months will have flown by.
@SnowPeony: i know =) I was so not looking forward to spending the day without him lol
My husband was in OCS was six months (he got sick with pneumonia)- I don't agree the leaving part is hardest. I found the hardest part not being able to communicate with my husband. Getting a short letter once a week that doesn't say much is also pretty tough (he'll be super busy). But, overall the experience is great- you really see where you're at as a couple and here's nothing like seeing your SO again after a few months.
If you can, write him as much as possible. He may not write back but getting a letter from home everyday really helps. :)

He just called me to tell me he is leaving tomorrow... I am not ready at all. Why does this have to hurt so much?
