Being able to stay in your own space and keep your kids in their school and current routine was probably best as long as you knew you could handle it, which it seems like you'll be just fine!

Your heart is where you kids and hubby are and even though he isn't with you in person while he is deployed his spirit is there and that would make me feel closer to him while he is away.
