Harold went back to work today. His 10 days have come to an end and we have entered into the last week before his deployment. We've known it was coming and we've slowly been trying to prepare for this departure, but it seems like we aren't making any ground. Yesterday it really hit me that after next week, Harold will be gone until the holidays. We spent Saturday shopping for summer clothes for Aden...and it made me really sad to know that Harold won't be seeing Aden in any of these clothes. By the time he gets back, Aden will be nearly 2 years old.
I know it's not helpful to focus on the negative, but I've been ignoring it for so long that I just can't help but feel a little overwhelmed right now. I know we will make it through this, and I know we will come out on the other side stronger and better off than we are now...but it's the getting there that is a little daunting. This is a lifestyle we chose, but right now it's really difficult to accept that 8 months of our lives will be given up to the needs of the Navy...
But at the end of the day...we will be strong and we will be able to move on to tomorrow and make sure that no matter what, no matter where we are or what we are doing...we are still a family, we are still loved, we are still in God's hands, and we will be just fine.
