March 08 Deployment to Kuwait! (2)My husband finally left on Tuesday, the 4th. Planned family time was from 6.00 am - 9.00 am.
I did not get much sleep the night before, because he had to turn in carry on luggage at 2.00 am, and then I had to wait for
him to take him to armor, so he could pick up his weapon.
When I finally came home it was time to wake up our son and get ourselves ready to go to Fort Hood. We saw some people
that we hadn't seen in a while. There were refreshments ready. The atmosphere was good.
At 08.30 am it was time to say our final goodbye......
We did not stay to watch him go on the bus; it would have been too much for us.
February 29 Why Don't You Care?"Will you call me when you get to xxxxx?"
"Yes, I will"
"Will you call me when you get back in town?"
"Yes, I will"
5 days have gone by and no phone call. I call and leave a message.
Yet you don' call.
I shouldn't have been surprised. Something in my spirit already told me you wouldn't.
I wait 2 more days and call you. You give me so many explanations as to why you did
not call. What you have been doing and what you have not been doing.
I listen. I ponder. I was the one also that said that it would be better for you to stay in xxxxx.
You overanalyze everything, including me. You say that I am upset, but you don't hear that I am
disappointed, because all I asked of you was to call or send me a text message or anything. If you
were a stranger, I would perhaps not give it much value. We spent time together. How can I not care?
I respect that you want to be by yourself and I understand. You could have respected my request...........That's all I asked!
It would have told me that you cared.
It would have been better than the silent treatment that I have been receiving.
I don't want to add "me" additionally to your stress and the difficulties that you are having. Neither do I want to add to mine.
You don't see the tears I cry. You don't hear the cry I cry. I could tear my heart out. Tear my clothes.
I stretch my hands to God. What can I do? All I can do is lean against the door post and slide down to sit on the floor.
Why don't you care?
_________________________________________________
Friendships are very important to me. I believe in treating others the way you want to be treated. I spent a lot of time with this friend and pray continuously. I am there when needed. It wasn't about the phonecall, it wasn't about me. It was about consideration.
Deployment to Kuwait! (1)Four more days and then it is time once again for my husband to leave us for 15 months. This time he will be going to Kuwait. It is not only hard for those that are deploying, but for us, spouses, children and family members, it is hard aswell.
We have gone through a couple of deployments, and each time it is different. Believe me, it wasn't easy for our son. He now is 13 and it wasn't easy for him when he was younger. Now he is able to handle it better. I believe that going to church, reading and studying the bible, have helped him. I give God all the praise. I will not mention the times I have shed tears. Not even times of discouragement. But God was so good to surround us with people that love us.
He willl do it again this time. And, prayerfully, this tour will end before 15 months are over.
