The same things over and over? Like "hang in there" or "it's going to be okay"...etc. I'm asking this because my best friend is deployed at the moment, & today he e-mailed me and told me that he would be deployed 15 months instead of the original 12 months. He's not complaining or anything and was prepared, and of course he accepts it; however, he is feeling down because he has a baby girl and he feels like she's not going to recognize him when he get's home. All I can think of to say is "hang in there" and "you can do this" and "you'll be okay". However, saying that seems so inadequate. What more can I say or do? "Hang in there" is beginning to sound kind of redundant, even to me. He doesn't complain of course, but I can't help but wonder whether or not it irritates him to hear the same things all the time. This is definitely out of my realm of experience and knowledge.
