Oh my, I wish I was near enough to give you a big hug. My new hubby would have gone to your house and made everything right while we would have shared our fears and joys over a nice cheesecake, chocolate, and wine.
I am an Cav Mom. This is the third deployment to the mid east. The first one he's done with a wife at home. Even though he is all grown up, he is still my son and has a big part of my heart. Just wish I was close enough to give emotional support to my daughter in law.
