It just makes me feel better when I am missing him I basically do the same as you with your charm. Staying firm in my beliefs and true to my husband isn't ever going to be hard for me. It's being away from him for so long that is my true sacrifice that I make as an ARMY wife. I am proud of my soldier as I know you are too. And yes "We got this!"Peggyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10847194979693034635noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5971946099502879364.post-55918553420602924662011-02-06T15:59:18.609-05:002011-02-06T15:59:18.609-05:00Nothing like a charm bracelet to help you remember...Nothing like a charm bracelet to help you remember what's important! I got one for Christmas to help remind me of my sweet boy at home when I'm at work. Glad you're taking it one day at a time and enjoying those chocolate temptations -- those are the best kind (other than the hub) anyway!Amanda @ It's Blogworthyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14919340979575037179noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5971946099502879364.post-163836350376966702011-02-02T04:46:03.533-05:002011-02-02T04:46:03.533-05:00Hugs honey!

I had a lot of friends during Vietnam - ok, so there's a clue to my era! - who were "home alone" for at least one deployment over there, but honestly I was too busy with my life at that point to pay them a lot of attention. And, the good friend I have who was a career wife seemed to have it completely together and I never even asked her what was really going on.<br /><br />So, dear Ally, now I am awake and paying attention - to you. Tom Brokaw was talking last week about only 1% of Americans participating in this war, and you and Neil are my 1%. <br /><br />You are a very special lady, and you can be sure that I will be out here for the next 288 wake-ups. What can I do to help?webbhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15168174623602308906noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5971946099502879364.post-55622357482297896982011-02-01T18:08:19.785-05:002011-02-01T18:08:19.785-05:00Of course I'm following you here.

For the rest of us, there is insight into the sacrifices people make for our security...something we should not take for granted. P.S.

I've done long distance but that is nothing compared to being a military spouse and having your loved one over seas. Thank you for starting this blog, getting the word out there and most of all for opening up to us and letting us support you as your words support other wives and husbands in your shoes! oxoxKelly @ turned UP to ELEVEN!https://www.blogger.com/profile/17316990503032552760noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5971946099502879364.post-17890800487358895812011-02-01T15:44:53.248-05:002011-02-01T15:44:53.248-05:00My gosh, you are such a strong woman. And you kno...My gosh, you are such a strong woman. And you know what? You are the first army wife I've ever really known. I mean, in a "following all your thoughts" sort of way. I've never had any good friends that were associated with the army, so I've never really known what they've gone through. So, thank you for sharing this time with us. I think it will give everyone a greater appreciation for our service people and for what their families go through.<br /><br />I may not always know exactly what to say in a comment, but please always know how much I appreciate you.foxyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16352196676526508960noreply@blogger.com
