Deployment

Our clock set to "Daddy time", since his time is many time zones  away from ours.

So we are currently living that part of military life called "Deployment" again.

It's not fun.

I have to be honest.
It doesn't get easier, no matter how many times you have been through it. 

In fact it seems to get harder as the years go on.  

There is nothing easy about having your other half, the person who has been your EVERYTHING for 15 years-half of your life, leaving for months at a time.

And it doesn't get easier on the children either. 
While  caring for them helps me to stay sane, helping them through their heartbreak also magnifies my own that much more.
