My husband is doing an 18 year flat sentence, and has only been down for 2 1/2 years. So we still have a LONG LONG way to go yet. But, our son and I are still hanging on for dear life at this point. I love my husband very much, and will give this all I have to stay strong, and ride this out with him.
:hee:

Hi Sharon, how nice to see you today :) Boy you have a big job ahead of you but if it is what you want you will make it. Love Barb

Thanks Barb! This is gonna be a long row to hoe, but I have to thank the good Lord Jesus for giving me strength, if I didn't have him I wouldn't make it.

Hello, I can understand where you are coming from. Looking at 14 more myself. I am going nuts over it. He has been down almost 3. I just want it to be over. Can I please find the damn fast forward button. All we can do is stay strong. I am here if you ever need to talk, vent or just cry. I understand.

I can definitly 2nd that fast forward thought!!

Staying strong together

It can be done ladies.. here we are 39 days from my guys release.. he's been gone close to 17 years.

I'm over here tossing out all my granny panies, flannel pajama's.. it's been a long time since I've shopped for silk.. I may even buy a pair of them thongs panties LOL

Thanks all for your replies, we will have to be strong for each other and hold each other up. But I have to give Monica all the credit in the world, you have given me a reason to hold on. I can't believe you stood strong for 17 years, thats wonderful. I hope you guys have a wonderful life together, you deserve it. Don't forget about all your PTO family members when you baby comes home! ;)

You know...when you love somebody, there is nothing that you won't/can't do for him. My heart goes out to you that have a long time ahead of you......and, Monica....."You go girl!!!!" God bless you!

Your right about that! Something like this will test your strength for sure.

Hey my husband has ben gone 12 and we still have 13 more to go and it seems like some time it never is going to end. I lov my husband so dearly that i cant imagine life with out him so i just hold on and pray. Some days are better then others.
