That was my thread about my husband LITERALLY almost missed my pregnancy. They were able to take the phone lines down when I called the ship to tell him to get his butt down to the hospital, I'm in labor and don't leave on the ship! I didn't have any family or friends, I would have been alone. Thank god thank god thank god!
I remember every time that John has left on a deployment. I usually get home and cry. The first time I got home after driving around in circles not wanting to go home. The lights were on in the house(I always turn them off.) Dazed or something I called John's name, hoping with all of my heart that he didn't go or that the plane didn't leave (they were flying him to the ship). I ran throughout the house holding onto that hope that he was home. When I figured out that we must have just accidently left the lights on I had it, I balled and cried so much. I called my dad who didn't seem like he wanted to hear it, but he was in the navy as well for a few years.
Everytime that I have a hard time with something I try to think, "Well, life could always be worse." Stay positive. I know my husband is coming home. At least he is healthy and not hurt. Try to plan the big day he will be back, email everyday and write letters and cards too.
