sad news :(
well i got the news that every military wife dreads hearing. my husband is deploying :( this will be his first and certainly not his last. i knew in my heart this would be the year but we just found out 2days ago that on the 5th of may he will be leaving, so this is our last weekend together :'(
the fact that they told us on such short notice is whats bothering me the most. they are suppose to give him a month to do all the paper work and prepare but since they couldnt he has to cram everything in in a week so we have no time together, i mean that friday he will be in class from 7 am to 6pm so there is no time to spend together.
im wondering how this will affect baden and dollar. they are so use to him taking them out in the morning and feeding them at night. he even puts them to bed at night and i never have. its only for 4months but still it just eats at me that my husband is not going to be here with me and i will be alone. i have friends here in AR but no family as they are in Mi. i would go home but i would have to end our lease ans i dont want to do that.
he will miss both our birthdays and our anniversary :( i know its only 4months (16weeks or 120days) but its still hard to say goodbye. i always imagined that teddy would be here for me as he always filled me with joy, dont get me wrong i love dollar and baden but teddy was my heart. with him gone and now my husband i feel truly alone here :'(

My partner was deployed for almost 15 months. We made our partnership "official" and a month later, with one week's notice, she was gone to Iraq. I took great solace in our animals while she was gone. They were really a grounding force for me. I couldn't allow myself to get down. I had to get up. I had to feed and walk them. And I had to take care of myself while she was gone. Have you been through a deployment before? Get involved with the family group. You will have a family contact from the military who can be of great help to you. As a gay woman, I didn't have that support. And I understand from my straight friends, it is invaluable while your soldier is deployed.
If you need to chat, get in touch with me. You and your husband have my deepest respect. Remember, you BOTH serve.

I am so sorry for you, and your husband. It is so hard to be a military spouse. I hope the time passes very quickly and you and Dollar and Baden can comfort each other.

All military families are courageous and give up so much. Thank you and your husband for your service to this great country. You are in our prayers for your husband's safe return. Your puppies will notice a change but they'll be fine and will take care of you. God Bless You.
