Jaime left today

[Laura_A]

Jaime left this morning for Stutghart to paletize all their equipment for Africa. He might be able to come home for the weekend. Keep your fingers crossed for us because Sunday is Regan's 5th birthday party. He leaves for the continent on Tuesday and will be gone for 2 months. :17: It's so hard not knowing where he is, what he's doing or if he's in danger. Not even sure how often we'll get to talk this time. *sigh* Luckily my parents are here to distract the girls... they have a hard time when daddy is gone.

Oh, Laura, I know that this will be a hard time. I'm not sure how you (and other military families) do it, but thank you for those of us whose lives you're protecting. (((hugs))) sweetie. Glad your parents are still there!

[Darcy Baldwin]

((HUGS)) Laura, I can't even being to know what it's like for you....

But know that you have my family's heartfelt thanks.

[Angela]

Many hugs and prayers for y'all!

:60:

I hope he can come home for her birthday too. I know you'll keep busy and he'll be home before you know it.

[scrappinmichele]

I can't even imagine. Jason has been gone since Monday and I miss him so much and so do the kids. It's a good thing your parents are there...I'm sure it doesn't make the missing go away, but maybe help distract you all a bit!!! I'll be thinking about you and hoping he gets to come home over the weekend!!

[YvetteSanders]

That must be so hard on you, I hope your parents make this time a little easier!

[ronee]

That must be so hard. I don't think I could do it. It's good that your parents are there to help keep the kids busy. Hugs.

I'll let one of you gals missing your DH's have mine for awhile, he's driving me crazy! JK!

Laura, I am sorry your man has to be gone so long, I may joke but I know I'd be just as miserable as you are and I send you lots of cyber hugs! Hope he at least gets to come home for the bday party!

[KimberlyGiarrusso]

Big Hugs!!! The time with pass quickly, but I will keep him in my prayers that he is away from any danger.

[jennamelia]

Oh, my heart goes out to you. I'm glad your parents are there to help for awhile. We all hope and pray that it goes by fast and smoothly.

[AndreaBurns]

Laura, I can't imagine my DH being gone so long with hardly an idea of where or what.... you have strength beyond measure!

((HUGS)) Hopefully the time will fly and/or he'll be able to write/ call when he can!

[Rynonut Mom]

I've said it before and I'll say it again! Thank you for your sacrific for this country! It's so hard when they are gone for long periods of time and it's all on you. I hope and pray that he will be able to get home for the weekend (or at least the party) for you all! Tell him thank you from me and big huge hugs all around for all of you! Will be keeping you in my thoughts and prayers!!!!

So - on a side note - you're coming to Vegas when??? He's going to be gone then, right? Are your parents staying there with the girls?????
So nosey - aren't I?

[chloe]

Awww, big hugs to you and the girls, Laura! I'm sure having Nonnie and Papa around will help the girls stay busy and not think too much to their daddy!! Hugs to Jaime too!

[Nathalie]

I can't imagin my DH being away that long, not knowing where he is. Big hugs and prayers.

[meems]

oh wow, I can't imagine. I get antsy if DH is half an hour late from work. I hope he'll be able to come for Regan's birthday.

[FeeJardine]

Thank you Michelle... an everyone!

Yes, I'm leaving for Vegas on Wed, so the girls will be here with my parents. I'm a little nervous about it but I'm sure they'll be fine.
