With the heaviest of hearts, I write this post. I've hesitated to write it, b/c I wanted to make 100% sure that it was a fact before I went and told everyone.
Justin is being sent to Iraq, for one year....and he leaves in 20 days.
You name the emotion, I have felt it. First it was yes, then it was no, and now it's a final yes. Look at your children, and then think really hard about what you would say to them if you were in this situation. I am at a loss for words. I have NO idea how to explain to Falyn and Faith that the daddy they SO adore will be leaving them, and help them understand why. I look at my son...my innocent baby boy who is just learning who we all are, and try to figure out how I am going to help him remember his daddy. If they were telling me it was for 6 months, I would be a little better. I've done that, and while it was hard, I could do it again. But a YEAR?!?! 365 days? 12 months? How do you wrap your mind around that? How do you look at your life and think of how it will be in one year? Look at your children...one year from now...Falyn will be in First grade, Faith in PreK3, Chandler....walking....
(I'll be back...can't finish this right now)
