Misty you are not alone. My son just got back. I was a Navy wife for many years. Yes, its hard and even lonely too. There must be others in your area too. Have you thought of trying to contact some of them? Maybe suggest coffe and just talk and see if being together will help some. I have spent my time in tears, Sending my sons and husband off too. Its hard to learn how to change a tire, service your car, do all the things he would of done. Try to talk to your Minister, We had a Navy wives club. That helped. God Bless and keep you.
