I miss him a lot today. I do every day, but Sundays are especially difficult. Because he’s supposed to be with us on Sundays. Even when he lived 300 miles away he was here on Sundays. Even when he was working 20 hours a day he’d still go to church with us.
I miss him.
I miss him dropping us off at the door when it’s raining or we’re late. I miss holding his hand as we walk out of church and split up to gather the kids. I miss deciding whether we should eat out or save money and eat at home. I miss wishing he wasn’t watching NASCAR.
I miss him.
I guess I will for at least another nine months.
I know you don’t put posts like that on your site just so people will respond…but I want to anyway.
I hear the aching in your heart as you type your feelings of your separation.
What I want to say is…thank you. Thank you for the sacrifice that you make, this time not as a soldier, but as a military spouse. Joel is serving our God; he is standing up for our freedom and way of life. He could not do this if it were not for the support that he receives from home….so….thank you.
Heavenly Father,
Give Amy and her kids peace by the power of your Spirit. Let them, in a supernatural way, let them feel the touch of your presence in a way that takes them by surprise. In Jesus’ name, Amen.

What are you talking about at least nine months? We are down to 8 and 1/2 months left with 6 and 1/2 complete. If you go back to my time at Ada then we are eleven months complete!
I really miss you too
