First day gone

My husband left for Afghanistan April 12th 2010, he left 22 days after his daughter was born. I was driving back down to Florida to live with my parent, since this is my 1st deployment and because I had a 14 month old and a newborn. I was a total wreck.. I told everyone I was okay when really I wasn't. I must say being a military wife shows you how strong you really are and shows you how independent you must be, there is no ''honey can you go get me arbys'' it's you put the kids in the car yourself and go. I have learned to be more dependant on myself then others. I have learned to handle stress a little different then others. I have learned to just keep my mouth shut when it come to the military.. nothing is final until the last day..
