...The hardest thing you will ever have to do is say goodbye to someone you love. I did that today. Half my heart is being ripped away. I can't believe we are back here again, it seems like he just got home and now to see him leave again is so hard. I want this horrible feeling to go away. I miss him so bad and it hasn't even been one day...
Joe left for a 6 month deployment to serve, protect, honor, and defend our country. We have been through two different deployments but this time seemed different. As a "significant other" to a man devoted to the military, it is my job to let him go even though I want to nail his feet to the floor. There are so many emotions that take place when he leaves- fear and frustration, pride and perseverance, love and loneliness, understanding and uncertainty. I am proud of Joe, I am also proud of the part that I play back at home without him. You don't chose who you love, but it certainly is hard to love a hero!
That's Joe in front of the B1!

SB...hang in there! Come to visit in DFW!
SB, I am constantly amazed how the family of military men (and women) deal with such long periods of time apart. Hang in there! We're proud of you and Joe!
GO SB & JoeG! I'm so proud of you! Now come to Houston for a little R&R. The guest room has your name all over it - we can even put a pic of you & Joe on the night stand! Then we can take you on a food tour - probably put you in a food coma for a week. If we really do it up right - maybe we can make the food coma last for 6 months?!?
love you (and joe!) you know i am praying for both of you daily.
