Things are getting really emotional for me these past couple of weeks. My husband leaves in exactly 12 days for 27 weeks of basic and advanced training for the army. I have never spent more than a week apart from him or more than 1 day of not talking since we met 7 and some years ago. I've slept next to him every single night for about 4 years now. This adjustment will be tough. I cry a lot but I know I have to be strong. I have to make things as normal as possible for our son. I have to stay strong for him. Let him know how proud I am. How grateful I am. This has always been on our minds but now it's here. He's made the choice. We are now going to start a whole new life. But first we have to get through this boot camp. No communication for 9 weeks and 4 days besides the snail mail. I miss him so much already.
