It won't be long, Angela! Soon, you'll be counting the days until he is back. So many of us know how it is!

Well, of course I care! My boys are 9, 12, and 13. I've spent many a time rocking and singing and soothing...saying, "Daddy will be home before you know it!".
Do you have a countdown calendar? How about a "Daddy journal"?

It is sad, that so many dads have had to go on a mission like this, where guns are necessary.
But, this is a part of the world that has refused to make friends with the rest of the world. Their Islam is offended by anyone stepping onto their nation's ground, but t
ey are living on everyone else's nations aroundthe globe. They move into your country and work at making it Islamic. But, they kill anyone doing the same in their country.
While your father helps settle them down, other fathers, especially GRANDFATHERS, ought work at the good cop/bad cop tdchnique of meeting the people in those Islamic places and making friends by getting to know them.
While Israel is working alone on learning how to cope with these people, Christians have a chance. Tney could apply "Love thy enemy" starting in the Holy Lands. Pilgrimages, especially into PLO areas like Bethlehem could make $ economics from tourism a useful tool of peace.
I hope millions of Grandfathers will havd the courage and good sense to go over there and "talk" to arab moslem bigots.

How long has he been away?
Military familys have a tough job.
I have seen peace time families suffering with Remote duty assignments, and long hours. Being away from other family members.
I can't imagine how a war-time family must suffer.
Keep writing and emailing. The letters from home make the time barrable.
In the tough times, when they are worn out, emotional times, they can look at your letters and know that there is people at home wanting him to go on.
That somewhere there is a place of peace and rest. To hear of problems at home to lighten the troubles they see daily.
When he gets home, give him a big hug. Be there for him, it will take time for him to get back to "normal".

It is hard having a family memer gone. But remember, it is just as hard on him. He misses you terribly and would give anything to be home with you.
Thank you for serving. It isn't just the person in the military but the entire family that serves us. God bless

I'm Canadian, but my boyfriend is in the US Air Force.
We have been trying to arrange when he can visit me but it is so hard to plan because something always gets in the way. We are looking at hopefully next spring/summer.

My husband has been gone for akmost 5 months now. Its really hard on my kids. I always tell them he will be home soon, but I don't think they believe me anymore. We count down on a calender and it helps. I hope you are comforted in this rough time.
