I put away the groceries, And I take my daily bread
I dream of your arms around me As I tuck the kids in bed
I don’t know what you’re doing And I don’t know where you are
But I look up at that great big sky And I hope you’re wishing on that same bright star I wonder, I pray
I sleep alone I cry alone And it's so hard living here on my own
So please come home soon Come home soon
I know that we’re together Even though we’re far apart
And I’ll wear our lucky penny Round my neck pressed to my heart I wonder, I pray
I sleep alone, I cry alone, And it's so hard living here on my own, So please come home soon
I still imagine your touch
It’s beautiful missing something that much
But sometimes love needs a fighting chance
So I’ll wait my turn until it’s our turn to dance I wonder, I pray
I sleep alone, I cry alone, Without you this house is not a home So please come home soon
I walk alone, I try alone, I’ll wait for you, don't want to die alone, So please

Those who matter, will understand how this applies to the "military" topic...

OMG!!!!! That's EXACTLY how I feel right now. I'm raising two kids while my husband is deployed. First, he was sent overseas. Then, he was sent away on an OEF support mission. Then, he was sent to school. Now, he's deployed. We've been apart for almost 3 years. Each time he came back, I thought "OK, the hard part's over. Now we can be together." Then he was sent away again. He's missed everything. EVERYTHING! Our kids are 3 and 2 years old. I feel so alone. I'm trying to hang in there and support him as best I can.

My husband was deployed 4 years ago. He didn't meet our son until he was 8 months old. We got pregnant last fall and had our baby girl in August. He got deployed again Sept. 8th. I have his wedding band around my neck. A couple of guys got held up once for their wedding bands the last time he was in Iraq. Our baby girl holds onto it when I nurse her. I cry everytime I see her little fingers fitting all the way through the band. Our boy has been lost with out his best friend, his hero, his Daddy. I cry all the time. I don't like the kids to see but everyday, in the car, at the store, in the shower, in bed. Oh god do I miss him. I am afraid to go to sleep. I have horrible nightmares when he isn't holding me. I love the way it feels in his arms. I miss his smell. I miss his touch. I hope I can get through this...

I can totally feel your pain. My partner is being deployed in three weeks and already I feel the loneliness. These words you have written will be how many partners will feel after they have been 'left behind'. Keep putting things down on paper cause sometimes that can give you the slightest bit of relief from the overwhelming emotions. My heart goes out to you. One day at a time. Good luck.

May God be with you and your loved one in the military. I will pray for a safe return and an end to the war. It is hard enough to be a single parent (even though it is temporary), but you have the added stress of worrying about your loved one's safety. Peace and blessings on you all.

I am sorry for you - You are brave to accept a marriage where you husband goes away. I am a military wife and understand. To be strong is to support your husband. When he thinks everything is okay his mind stays strong which keeps him safe on not worrying about home.
You stay strong and know that your husband is fighting for our freedom. Thank you to you, your family for the sacrifice and your husband for fighting for us.
