Military

I'm sorry!! I know its hard. My husband is in the Marine Corps & he's been gone the past 2 summers for training. Each summer he was gone for 6 weeks. I had to tell him I was pregnant over the phone because he couldn't be here! As a military wife, there are sacrifices you have to make, and that's just one of them. I'm sure there will be times when your husband will be gone on special occasions (birthday, anniversary, holidays, etc.) and it will kill you, but you need to accept it & support him. Sometimes it helps me to think that he's going through exactly what you are, except worse, because he is sleep deprived, being pushed to his limits emotionally and physically, and misses you & your son just as much as you miss him. I know what its like to wait for the mail to come every day in hopes that you'll get a letter (even if its short) or to sleep with the phone & keep your phone with you all day, just to get a quick hello. Being a military wife is definitely tough!! Just remember to keep yourself busy & not to let it get you down. You need to be a good support system for your hubby (and your son when he gets older), because as I said, your hubby is just as sad & needs to know you're supporting him & not moping around at home. When my husband left for training last year, I cried the entire day he left. Then I realized its not going to change anything, and it'll just make me more depressed. So I stopped thinking about it (as much as I could), wrote him every chance I got, kept myself busy, and the time went by a lot quicker. Good luck & I hope the time goes fast for you.

if we marry a military man we have to accept that he will really lift us alone and more sacrifices to be maid for our family.
