I'm just wondering what everyone does to keep their selves busy and not think about their loved ones being gone. I can't seem to get my mind off of him...and I start crying alot. Even in the middle of work. It seems like no one understands what I am going through that I talk to. But I was just wondering what everyone does. Maybe there is nothing I can do to stop thinking about it...I just wish I could think about it and not cry.

Some days are going to be worse then others no matter how long you have been doing this. For the most part I do ok, but even three years into this I still have days where I just miss him like crazy and nothing makes me feel better. Its much worse now that he's 1300 miles away and I havnet seen him in over 4 months with at least another 1 1/2 years to go until I see him

How often do you get to see him?

Well, now you are making me feel a little better. How can you do it...I would go insane if I had to wait a year and a half before I got to see him again. I try to go over once a month, but it usually ends up to being every 2 months. I just hate the fact that I can't bring him home with me each time I get to see him.
I agree with the days...most a really good. Then there are just those few that hit me hard. But I guess that's the same for everyone. I just wish that they weren't so hard. The thing that really hurts me is that he isn't home to see our little girl grow up. He is missing the best part. :-( I just have to keep thinking to myself, one day and he will be home.
