A few personal things have happened since the deployment. One on its own would be fine, but they just keep building. Deployments are never easy, but it's times like these when I just wish Hubby was here.
I like to keep some issues to myself, or at the most share them with immediate family and my Grace Adler. So I won't go into it. But it makes me realize how lonely and how truly on-my-own I feel.
I've been pretty lucky to have the friends I have here on the island. My neighbor has been a huge help. And the CO's wife has been the most caring person, genuinely concerned about how things are going. So it's nice to know that if I ever need it, there are people here I can rely on.
But this situation typically relies on the husband. It's kind of part of his husbandly duties. I know it would kill him to find out what's going on and not be able to do anything about it, and it's killing me not being able to tell him and knowing that he'd want to know. I'm actually really glad we won't be speaking on the phone, since I can easily edit emails and strip all the emotions and innuendos regarding these things.
But it's still hard to need someone and know that even though they would, they can't be here.
