....gone.

from JoeUser Forums

He's gone. 

The air in our house is still and quiet as I wander from room to room trying to find some nuance of his recent presence.  I stand and listen to the silence, hoping somehow to hear an echo of him....but there's nothing.

My love is gone...

D, if you read this, I want you to know that I love you and that my heart breaks a little every time you leave.  Without you here, I feel like I'm not really living....I'm just existing.  I'm simply going through the motions of life until you return.  I will be here waiting for you, babe, and I'll wait forever if I have to. 

I love you, D.  Always.....

Parting is such sweet... (wait a second, parting just fucking sucks!)

You got that right....I hate the days before a deployment.  Knowing that he's going to have to go, dreading having to say goodbye....it sucks.

I'm going to go cry now.  I think I'll feel better once I've got all my tears out.

I've been meaning to email you, K. I just want to know that I've been thinking about you and your family alot knowing that this was coming up and hoping that maybe this time it won't be so bad. But it never really gets better, does it?

Know that I'm there with you in spirit, give you a hug and letting you cry. I know what it's like to say goodbye. He'll be back. He'll be back.

Much love to you...

Mooooooo

Thank you, Dev...that means a lot to me.

Know that I'm there with you in spirit, give you a hug and letting you cry.

Thanks Marcie...that's exactly what I need right now.  I just need to cry and let it out.

Baaa-aaaa!

I find it amazing the love you share for your husband. I hope that these upcomming times travel quick so that you may be with him again.

Peace,

Me too...just when I think I couldn't love him anymore, I find a new depth of emotion. 

I hope that these upcomming times travel quick so that you may be with him again.

Thanks, Beebes...I'm touched!

Have a good cry and hopefully from your tears will come the renewal of the strength you will need to have while D is gone. I am thinking of you and sending all the good vibes I can gather.

Love and peace,

Hang in there Dharma. I wish I could tell you it'll go by quickly, but you and I both know that's mostly crap. It will go by one day at a time...

I did, and it did....I'm feeling better this morning.

September sometime...

I know, and thank you for realizing that I don't need to hear 'oh, the time will fly by' because, as you said, it won't.

Oh D...not again! Well, I've got a stock of Cherry Garcia and tissues anytime you need to rekindle our old pity party days! You know where to find me! Take care.

That's the angry one, this is the sad one: or this one:

Sorry to hear that he is gone again.  At least it will be in the Spring/summer so at least mother nature can keep you company while he is gone.  A little sunshine might help a bit.

You know what, that sounds like a fabulous idea!  I went and got myself some chick-flicks from the store, some bananas foster flavored ice cream...now all I need is you here and a box of kleenex!

Karma, you know me too well...I always feel better and more lively when spring and summer come around.  It's just so hard to be miserable when it's nice out!

Aww, thank you!  I'm just trying to say what I feel, much like you did in your article to your wife.

Glad to see you made it back from the Canadian wasteland....

I don't guess I have any comforting or wise words, but I feel for you. I can't imagine what it's like to go through it time and time again. Best wishes.

Thanks Tex...and it sucks. It just sucks less and for shorter periods of time with each deployment.
