How could they?


Calimama wrote: They bumped DH's date up again, he's leaving Sunday. People keep telling me it's no different than the other deployments he's been on, but it is because of Bella. She's crazy about him, and I feel so bad for her. She's too young to understand that he's coming back or why he's not here. I know we made the choice to continue on as a military family but it doesn't make goodbye any easier. I keep telling myself to be thankful that he's not going to Iraq and he's not Army who now has 15 month long deployments, but right now I'm to selfish to be thankful. I'm trying too be positive... I really am. sad.gif I guess my post count is going to go up a lot these next few months. smile.gif

ETA: They decided it would be better if he left tomorrow rather than Sunday. sleep.gif

msoulz replied: I can't imagine how hard this is for you but I can say I am grateful to families like yours that sacrifice for the rest of us. hug.gif Thank you! wub.gif

luvmykids replied:
Same here, I can't begin to understand or express my respect for what you all do...it's not just the one member that sacrifices sleep.gif hug.gif

lisar replied: Sweetie I cant imagine how you feel but I do understand how this deployment IS diffrent than the rest, there is a child emotionally involved this time go round. hug.gif hug.gif

CantWait replied: I'm so sorry hun hug.gif hug.gif Just because you decided to do what's good for your family doesn't make it any easier when it comes time to leave. You shouldn't feel bad for needing to vent or cry when he leave just because of that. How long is he going for?

kit_kats_mom replied: I'm sorry. I know it will be hard for you. If it helps any, I don't think it will really harm Bella in any way in the long run. TBH, I'm a military brat and it was the deployment starting at about age 8 that I remember...sobbing on my stepdads shoulder, pleading with him not to go to sea. Anything prior, I just don't remember. Even when my mom left me with my grandparents to go into basic (I think I was 6 or 7) I have no memory of feeling abandoned or anything. hug.gif

MoonMama replied: Oh honey sad.gif I am so sorry! hug.gif hug.gif hug.gif Please let me know if you and Bella need anything. hug.gif

sparkys2boys replied: oh I am so sorry. I am sure it makes it harder when they keep uping the date on you guys. You will get through this and remember you have all of us here for support.

~Roo'sMama~ replied: I'm sorry! i can't imagine how hard it must be for you! I'm sure Bella will miss him too, but she'll be ok. hug.gif How long will he be gone?

Old Mom Hubbard replied: I do not personally know any military families, but I am so greatful for the sacrifices they, and you their families make...GOD BLESS YOU! hug.gif
