It is certainly a sort of lifestyle, that really effects your whole lives. I know a lot of people say "thank you" to your husband - but I say "thank you" to YOU. It is a lot of work to be the spouse of a military person, to support them and keep them safe and strong. So often overlooked, but my heart goes out to you as you try to juggle all of this.BleedingTuliphttp://pursuingparenthood.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7492793455039836501.post-45009025784854255822012-02-24T21:20:42.208-05:002012-02-24T21:20:42.208-05:00It just sucks that he has to leave when you are bo...It just sucks that he has to leave when you are both in such a state of grief. <br /><br />You are in my thoughts.

Thank you too for being there to support him and staying strong. <br /><br />I agree that you have to force yourself to not think about the "what ifs" and try and stay in the "here and now". Much easier said than done, I know.<br /><br />Glad your appt went well and you got a test taken. Good to hear that your asthma is under control.<br /><br />By the way, in reply to your comment on my blog I am amazed that you still have parsley growing in your yard (sort of envious actually - lol). I have a difficult time growing it, even in spring/ summer. I think it gets too hot here. My thyme and rosemary stay green through winter.Sunflowerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12666376683383060063noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7492793455039836501.post-60116944676248914322012-02-24T13:50:11.387-05:002012-02-24T13:50:11.387-05:00Hi Cristy, unfortunately the US Army does not reco...Hi Cristy, unfortunately the US Army does not recognize a miscarriage as a reason to keep a soldier home, nor do they send them home from a deployment if their spouse miscarries. A miscarriage is considered a natural act of the body.<br /><br />The Army REI clinic didn't even recognize me as being pregnant any of the past three times because my beta was so low though the hpt did show that I had a chemical each time. To them it was nothing more than a missed period.<br /><br />Its just the way that the Army operates. We have to suck it up.Rebeccahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06316511791499949824noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7492793455039836501.post-37100661971768290412012-02-24T13:47:48.847-05:002012-02-24T13:47:48.847-05:00I'll tell him that you said thanks.I'll tell him that you said thanks.Rebeccahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06316511791499949824noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7492793455039836501.post-24705281348387317812012-02-24T13:44:33.184-05:002012-02-24T13:44:33.184-05:00Is there any way you can talk with someone about g...Is there any way you can talk with someone about getting him off the deployment list? The army has to have a policy about not deploying soldiers following a death in the family for all the reasons you've stated. And this most certainly falls in that category. <br /><br />In the meantime, I'm holding you in my heart Rebecca.Cristyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04317873211902543387noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7492793455039836501.post-26885092563900470442012-02-24T13:24:22.692-05:002012-02-24T13:24:22.692-05:00First of all please say thank you to your husband ...First of all please say thank you to your husband from me.
