As I sit at the breakfast table, cold coffee cup beside me, there is just a little over 24 hours left before my husband leaves. Every part of my body aches...and cries...I feel scared, sad, overwhelmed, angry and an overall hot mess. This is truly a non-makeup day.
Deployment....hurts in a way - and deeper in the soul, than any one can imagine. In places you didn't think existed inside.
We do this...deployment shit...for all the right reasons. For others; so they can keep their soldier home a little while longer. We endure the heart ache and separation because it's what we signed up to do and we honor that commitment with every tiny broken piece of our heart. Our tears and grief - those are the gifts that we lay down to show our strength, love and endurance.
In the beginning - it hurts like hell.
Peace.
