The deployment technically started on October 2nd, so if you think about it, three days have passed already. Michael already told me I should count weeks and not days, it can be too depressing. Last night, or should I say this morning, at 2:15, the soldiers were rounded up and put on the bus. I have to say, besides having family members pass away, saying good-bye to him was the worst moment of my life. It took all my energy not to get in my car and drive after the bus that was taking my husband away. At the moment, he is on a plane to Chicago and then to Texas. Every minute, getting farther and farther away from me. Let's hope the year flies by because right now, it seems almost impossible to go without him for that long.
