Emotional

How do I put into words my feelings? Today has been a rough day, I could hardly get through my classes without crying. Of course, I cried on the way to school and by the time I arrived my eyes were puffy and red. I feel like my time with my husband is running out. He leaves on May 19th, but will be out in the field from May 1 thru 8th. When we are together it is hard to really connect. This is not because of our relationship, it's because of the realization that he will be gone for 10 months. Where he is going there will be no electricity, indoor plumbing, or phone. We know already that the communication will be few and far between. This is a hard pill to swallow because my husband is my best friend. I don't want to see him leave and today I am having a hard time accepting my own reality.

My husband is deploying to Afganistan in 3 weeks and I thought itwould be nice to have a place to journal my experience and share with other Marine wives.
