People Forget
People ask how he's doing, how he's holding up, but they forget to ask us how we're doing. It's hard for us at home too. He has this whole new reality, and while I don't understand how he can stop being a Spouse and Daddy to be a Soldier, thats what he has to do. Sure, we get to continue in our regular reality but it's cracked, unwhole, wrong. Life just goes on w/o us, we're just coasting, waiting to be able to participate again. I'm not a whinny, dependant wife who can't go on w/o her husband, more that he's been such a part of my life, and who I am, for such a long time that it's just not right w/o him. I don't know how he's holding up because he wants me to think it's all fine, ask me how I am, offer me a hug.

I can totally relate. When my husband is gone, he gets to shed all roles until he is only Soldier. I have to pick all those strewn off and continue on my merry way.
That's my long way of asking you how you are doing? Holding up okay?
