Sigh. Everything you're saying resonates. I'm really sorry. . . .

I've browsed your blog a couple times and wanted to know if it was okay to add you to my blog roll now that I started a new blog that is about being a sailor's wife.

Aw Steph, I feel your pain. You hit the nail on the head with what sucks about subsequent deployments. They don't get any easier b/c now you know what to expect emotionally and how hard some days are than others. Someone said to me the other day that a 6 month deployment should be a piece of cake after having endured a 12 month-er. Not so much I said. I vividly remember as you do what it feels like to go back to that solo lifestyle and missing him all the time and waiting for phone calls and being dependent on reliable internet connections. Doesn't matter how long the deployment is ... it still sucks at the end of the day. It's not a fun place to revisit. Hugs.

Predeployment pretty much sucks. Deployment does even more. and it's almost worse the second time around, because you know what's coming... but you also know you are going to be able to get through this, you've done it before.

So - enjoy every second of the together time, try really hard not to think ahead. and remember, you aren't alone. We are here, we know, we're there too, and if you need anything, call.

I am in the same boat so to speak. Anytime I get upset, Adam says,"Jenna, calm down." As if being calm had anything to do with it. It's pretty cute, it is his way of saying everything is going to be okay.

Best of Luck.
