So much for good intentions! I had promised myself I would start this blog the day Alec left for that place in the sand, but between work, home and the busy schedule I have set to keep our minds busy I have just not started.
Deployments, where to start! I must admit that I do get a little angry at politicians who seem to talk about deployments with such detachment. As a Marine wife we face 7 month or 1 year deployments, at present. My heart breaks for the wife of an army spouse and the amount of time they are away.
The day that Alec left I was driving home from their departure site at 5:30am, the sun was rising and I was looking off the base towards homes just outside the base gate. I must admit I felt angry that the biggest decision most of those folks had for the day was if they would stop at Starbucks for coffee or not and here I was sending my husband off to war! I am over that now but still wonder if most American's even notice the sacrifice being made, it is so easy to change the channel.
