I'm so sorry you had a rotten day! My husband used to travel alot with his work, but at least I knew he'd be home in a few days and I didn't have to wait for a year. One time after the kids and I stood on the front porch waving good-bye I came back in the house and the doorknob fell off in my hand! I thought, "Oh, no it's going to be one of those kinda trips!!!" He used to call me his little pioneer woman because I always had to fix things when he was gone..no fun!
You just hang in there and if you need to cry, it's ok, even in front of the kids. They need to know that mom has feelings too. It's a wonderful service your husband is doing and your sacrifice goes beyond measure. Anytime you need to vent or want a "hug from afar" you just shoot me a PM and I'll be there.
Hugs and prayers to you and your family!
