It is you where I found my strength as most of you have no contact with your husbands at all for days and days, and it is you that keeps me in check whenever I think my work at home isn't worthy.

I'm new here. but I saw this. first "Korea" jumped out because two of my kids were born there. and because my dad went once. for a year. like you said.<br />I'm sorry. I think for the kids it ends up being a part of being an Air Force brat and we just sort of shrug. yeah, we miss dad. huge. undeniably huge. but we are kids and our attention span is kinda short you know? I remember singing preschool songs into the tape recorder so my mom could send them to him to listen to. And she saved all the letters he wrote me so now I have them as an adult. I don't know how many times I asked when he was coming home. no doubt enough to drive her mad. I just know that he did, and he was still the best dad ever.<br />But I know it is a lot tougher for the wife. Hang in there. And thank you. I go to sleep every night grateful that my kids live here, in this country, safe and I know it isn't free.<br />I hope you get the nicest, cushiest, bestest assignment ever when he comes home.CailinMariehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02286856318936072850noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5910185897876102936.post-89665023666115938722009-12-08T10:46:25.845-07:002009-12-08T10:46:25.845-07:00My dad did two tours in Korea when he was in.

The first time we lived with my gma. And the second time my mom & sis got an apartment in the same building I was living in. It's hard, we all missed my dad <i>alot</i> but my mom always treated it like it was an adventure. Lol. Sorry to say, my dad did not get his pick of posts after either tour. We went to Arizona after the first one, although two bases later we did end up in England which is what my folks wanted. The second time they ended up in Louisiana. But it could have just been because of my Dad's rank and specific job. <br /><br />I'll keep my fingers crossed. Oh, and my dad always brought us awesome presents from Korea!! And the Air Force may have it's issues...but it could be worse it could be the Army!!<br /><br />♥SpotSpothttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12761441168024967277noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5910185897876102936.post-76531881356517845172009-12-08T08:40:25.460-07:002009-12-08T08:40:25.460-07:00OH WOW.

Once my husband came up behind me in the kitchen in his fatigues and stalking cap and I smacked him hard across the face! It seriously was just my reaction. He didn't look like himself! I just hope you have a good support group out there! My friends and family were paramount!
