I personally am not in the military but my older brother is. Right now he is based in Italy. But he will be sent within the next following weeks or days to the Middle East (to be more exact I believe he said Kuwait but I'm not sure.) This will be the second time he has been sent to the Middle East. I know is not easy and I can't imagine what my sister in law may be feeling as she will be by herself in Italy for about 6 months and they just moved there this past year.

Do you have the option to go with him when he's in both places? That way you won't be apart from him and won't feel so lonely. My sister in law has gone everywhere with my brother that she is able to and also their two beagles. They met in Japan while he was based there (she is a mix of Japanese and Peruvian) and she left everything over there when he was moved to North Dakota and now she is with him in Italy. I know is not easy for her as all her family is divided between Japan and Peru but she rather be with my brother than be apart from him. She says that is the military live for her.

I wish you the best of luck I know its a tuff time and you'll have to make some real hard decisions but make sure that you do what you believe is the best for you and your husband. I will keep the both of you in my prayers.
