LJ idol week 4: Fear is the heart of love

[sonarvampress]

I don't know if I can do this. I say it all the time and people think it's a joke. I've done this before, two deployments down, one coming up sooner than I ever expected. Where did the time go? It seems like only last week I assured him that early 2017 was a great time for a deployment. It meant he'd be home for almost a year. Not straight, of

First, a big thank you to your husband for doing what he does. Your entry really made me think about how a family functions during a deployment, and the emotional issues you face. I love your advice, particularly to fix problems before bringing them up. It seems small, but very thoughtful. I hope your husband returns safely.

I joke that if he didn't  see it, ti didnt happen. I crash his car every deployment and once during an underway I drove into the garage door. But everything is always fixed before he gets home. To be fair though, he fixes everything he cam before he leaves. He has a few smaller fixes still before he deploys this time.

This is very powerful.
