Today is a little bittersweet. Rusty is in Kuwait for his second deployment--and we are honestly doing fine. Separation isn't easy, but it's part of the life we've chosen. He's hanging out in 100+ temps, working until 6:30 today while we prepare to BBQ tonight and watch We Were Soldiers. Can't beat a Mel Gibson movie for depth and emotion.
So, I miss my husband, but I'm proud he's serving our country. I'm glad he's safe in Kuwait, I'm glad we have Skype, email, instant message, and phone calls. This truly isn't your Grandmother's war.
Everyone enjoy what is left of your holiday. I appreciate those who have died, but don't forget to honor the living. Family, friends, Jesus. Better to say thanks now than wait until our loved ones are gone.
Love lots
Tracey
