Be Right Back

That's what Craig said this morning as I dropped him off at 4:30 this morning at the airport. I gave him his hug goodbye and we held each other a little longer than normal. I told him I loved him and as I drove away I felt like putting the car in reverse so I could tell him more than I did. I could hardly talk because I was so choked up. I cried most of the way home and crawled back in bed and tried to sleep. I did for a little while but I kept waking up thinking about him and that would start the tears again. I knew this would be hard.

We put our service flag up this morning in our window. A sign that a loved one is away serving our country. We'll keep it there until he returns to us and he can take it down. I will also wear my pin everyday, like I did last time he was away, to show my support for him while he is gone. He will be missed but I am excited to see what the Lord will do through this trial. I know that there are going to be hard days ahead but the Lord will sustain us.

Stay tuned for an update from Craig :)
