I’m handling this mission that Seth is on a lot better than the last one. I think the last one got to me so much because it was his first one being ‘active’ again since he was injured. The one he is on now will leave us contactless (is that even a word? LOL) for about a week, give or take a few days. The one prior to this one was only a couple days but it freaked me right out. I don’t think I let out my breath for a full 48 hours…seriously. lol. I finally breathed a sigh of relief when he contacted me this past Saturday.

Even though this mission is a lot longer than the previous one he was on, I’m doing ok. I’m staying positive, keeping myself busy (ok trying to! lol) and just reminding myself that he’s highly trained at what he does and he’ll be ok. Yes I know there are no guarantees but I can’t allow myself to think about that. It’s too hard.

And for the moments that I find myself feeling weak and not handling the wondering what’s going on over there my friend Tammy is right there to pick me up and get me through those moments. It really helps having a military wife to talk to because she really understands what’s going on.
