Husband's gone.

Today my husband deployed for 12 months:( we have an almost 4 month old baby girl. I'm super sad and trying to pull myself together. Feeling very lonely, although my baby needs my attention it's hard to be strong without that special person with u. Just needing some encouraging words...

Im so sorry. My husband has been deployed since September and im having our first born very shortly. I know how you feel.. although his deployment isnt a year long I understand how hard it is having a baby with someone you love so much and then they have to leave. But DEPLOYMENTS END! (: he will come home and the end result will be that your bond is stronger than it was before. And it gives you something to look foward to everyday. Stay strong, and keep busy he will be home before you know it. (: xoxo

I'm so sorry. It stinks. I know. My brother went for 6 months at the very beginning of the Iraq war. We got to talk to him 3 times that whole 6 months. Now your able to use skype. And he can read your daughter a book. And talk to her and watch her grow. Thank you for being his wife! It's tough on you too. Maybe find another wife going through the same thing.

Thank you @specialmom. A year seems like an eternity. Skype is definitely better than nothing. Mostly sad to think when he comes back our baby will be almost a year and a half, walking and all that fun stuff. Thank u for the encouragement! :)

Oh my goodness.  A year is a long time hon.  I'm sure that causes anxiety and sadness.  I don't blame you.  But know that time does kind of fly by.  You'll stay busy with your baby, busy with yourself and hopefully the time will pass alright.  But I can understand how you must feel.  I know it is not the same but skyping and things like that help keep you in touch.  anyway, sorry he has to be away.  Hang in there hon.  hugs
