What a strong mommy you are! Thanks to you, Frank and your family for all that you do to help keep this country safe. Those of us not involved in the military cannot possibly thank you all enough for the sacrifices that you have made.

So nice that you have the skype and faster ways to talk. I remember waiting the phone calls and mail but my husband was in the Navy..I at least knew where he was.. On a ship and you sure couldn&#39;t leave that to go somewhere else.. I still cry when I see the military leave and when they come home.. i remember my daughter when she was three and he left for the six month cruise. I had dropped him off on the pier and then went home and packed the car and drove and stayed with my mother in law for some of the cruise. it was about 2 or so later and i heard her crying and went and asked her what was the matter and she said You just left him there uou just left him.. WHAT? It was then I realized she hadn&#39;t gotten the fact he went out to sea even though she did.. she always saw the empty berth when he was gone before.. Poor kids when daddy leaves.. sorry i went on.. it just stirs up the empty space in your chest when you think of them leaving.. I wish i could come help you out but Colo is a long way away.. Will keep you and yours and Frank and company in my prayers.. May you time fly....

What Frank is doing is truly heroic. He is doing such a neccessary, beautiful, courageous thing. <br /><br />But so are you. So are your kids. You are all doing a brave and courageous and heart-wrenching and scary and heroic thing, by continuing to live and love when he is over there, protecting us.<br /><br />You will be in my heart and prayers. I have to believe that Frank will come home safe - and will pray for nothing less. But I know that it is so.very.hard. to be at home while they are there. It&#39;s just not easy.

I feel badly for the kids, and I hope for their sake that the year goes fast. How often does Frank have to deploy? Is it like an every other year thing or more random? Is he thinking of anytime retiring soon? (im not sure how many yrs he has in already or if he is close to retiring!)<br />Poor Frank looks so sad in those pics, I bet it is just as hard on him leaving his family behind and missing out on so many milestones. Hang in there, you have 5 beautiful reasons to keep you busy each day. I am sure the time will fly!Island Babyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05043384492295274009noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3204182074302772796.post-72426192631241850502012-01-25T20:28:24.781-07:002012-01-25T20:28:24.781-07:00I just want to send your family a big (((HUG))), I know how you are feeling right now, but I love the beautiful way you wrote it. The pictures are beautiful and heart breaking at the same time. I only have 2 kids and each of the times my husband has deployed it has been hard. I admire you for being such a great mom and wife through everything.
