We are into the 50 day territory now!! Well over half way through this term (3 more weeks of school!)...I can't wait for April 1st to be able to say 'it's next month'!!

Someone asked me why I write this - and to be honest - I don't know why. I think maybe one day it will serve as a nice memory of this first tour together. He gets my daily drivel (and trust me a lot of it is drivel - I mean i have sent an ebluey extolling the virtues of the Creme Egg!!!) of events by letters/blueys/emails and the communication from him is through one liner emails or daily skype calls. So it's not there for posterity - but this is. Maybe on his return I will let him read everything on here so he can see the story from this side of the fence. The good and the bad! I wonder how many of our OH's read what we put on here.

I have lots to say - he will tell you that! He gets teased about the mail he receives but even he now admits he likes the teasing and that the teasing is tinged with jealousy!!

My thoughts this week though are with the members on here who's OH's have deployed to the other sandpit. I remember well those days in January pre deployment when i really could not see further than D Day - ladies you will get through it - you will cry, but we will be here every step of the way. Each day at a time!

    One day at a time is exactly how it is isn't it? Just thinking God it's at least 3 months or 100 days or whatever till I see him again just destroys your soul. I remember reading your posts when he'd just gone and it seems like yesterday but now it's just over a month till homecoming :-). I can't wait till it's July but all I'm thinking of at the moment is next Sunday which will be the hardest day of my life no question about it. Still what doesn't break us makes us stronger and at least there's always wine :-).

    Hi
    I know - it doesn't seem like the start of tour was that long ago - and all the awful feelings that there were between be landing back here and him being sent off. One of the most gut wrenching weeks of my life -how i managed to not put myself back on a plane for the weekend I don't know. But here I am with a month and a bit to go!
    There is always wine and other WAG's - it'd be a dire place if we didn't have that combination!!!
    You, like the rest of us, will be fine. And when you are not - we are here for you! xxxx
