One quarter, 25 cents, one-fourth, 2 blocks, whatever you want to call it. The first quarter is over.
THANK GOD.
Today began the second quarter of PJ's deployment, the next 100 days. I didn't know how I was going to make it through the first 10 days, let alone the first 100. I am proud to report that while I may have lost my mind on several occasions, and fell apart many times in between, I made it.
I have been in a pretty selfish frame of mind lately, and I'm sorry to have to admit it. I wish that I had not burdened everyone else with my emotions, but to those who endured it, thank you. You are not forgotten. To the people who I talk to every day about everything, thank you. To the people who have recognized the hard work of our soldiers and families, and said prayers for them, THANK YOU.
I'll keep this short, but all I want to say is this. I miss PJ so much, that it's driving other people crazy. I'm not afraid to say, that it makes me feel good. I talk about him without realizing it, and for that I am glad. I don't ever want to miss out on the opportunity to tell people about my husband and his fellow soldiers. They are some really great people, in the military and in civilian life. I'm so proud to know them. I miss them all.
And for those of you tired of listening to me gab about PJ, get some ear plugs. That is all.
God bless our soldiers, and their families. We will NOT be disappointed if the deployment does not make it to 400 days.... Amen!
