One Flaw In Women
Women have strengths that amaze men...
They bear hardships and they carry burdens,
but they hold happiness, love and joy.
They smile when they want to scream.
They sing when they want to cry.
They cry when they are happy
and laugh when they are nervous.
They fight for what they believe in...
They stand up to injustice.
They don't take "no" for an answer
when they believe there is a better solution.
They go without so their family can have.
They go to the doctor with a frightened friend..
They love unconditionally.
They cry when their children excel
and cheer when their friends get awards.
They are happy when they hear about
a birth or a wedding.
Their hearts break when a friend dies.
They grieve at the loss of a family member,
yet they are strong when they
think there is no strength left.
They know that a hug and a kiss
can heal a broken heart.
Women come in all shapes, sizes and colors.
They'll drive, fly, walk, run or e-mail you
to show how much they care about you.
The heart of a woman is what
makes the world keep turning.
They bring joy, hope and love.
They have compassion and ideas.
They give moral support to their
family and friends.
Women have vital things to say
and everything to give.
HOWEVER, IF THERE IS ONE FLAW IN WOMEN,
IT IS THAT THEY FORGET THEIR WORTH.

Where's papa again?!
Today wasn't all that bad. Maybe it's because we've had company and I got a chance to do things I usually don't do; like Karaoke. Yes I sang Karaoke with my son and a special friend. Cici even decided to join along in the fun.
Okay so we didn't sing that good but hey, we now know why we're not in the choir at church. LOL! I would have taken pictures but when you're singing along you can't really hold the camera at the same time!
Ms. Cici asked a couple of times today about "when is papa coming home?" "He'll be home soon enough my love." I responded. "Why papa have to be far away for work?" She asked. I answered with, "because he loves us." That ended that conversation.
I got a chance to speak with Mike today. He's doing well. He's eating some great mexican food right now and has the opportunity to spend it with family. I'm glad he's there enjoying his last few days with his parents and brother.
I don't think I've ever told him but I really do worry about them. His dad's health was in question last year but he's a strong man and I doubt he's going anywhere! Which is prefect for me, I don't want to see my husband go through the pain of losing a parent like I did.
I've heard and have even said I don't ever want to bury my children but losing a parent isn't any better. It's hard. I know. Anyway, just a little update as we continue to become accustomed to my gorgeous husband being gone.
We miss him already....

"papas gonna be back tolmolow"
"No baby, papas not coming back tomorrow", I said.
"How come, he's cying?" Sierra spoke.
"No papas not crying. He has to go to work for a long time. He won't be back till after you are 4. He has to protect us and all our friends." I replied.
" Even my bestfuen Evelyn?", "and Mr. Jim"?
I wanted to cry and responded, "Yes baby, even for all your friends..."
As she walks away, "papas going to come home becos he loves me huh mama?"
Before it ended I responded, "Papas going to come home because he loves us and Jesus loves us too.."
So my heart aches.

"Just go..."
We took Mike to the airport. Is that the appropriate way to start a post? I'm not even sure how to start or even the "right" words to say. Perhaps this is such a number of words put together with no meaning what so ever. Or that I'm lost in translation. Whatever it turns out to be; forgive me if at times it sounds rude.
As we headed out the door Sierra became a little anxious. Within a few seconds of putting her in her carseat she began to cry. I must say this is nothing out of the ordinary for her. For some reason she is beginning to dislike it. Too bad for her. She stayed like that all the way to the airport (15 min drive).
We all got off to say our good byes for the next 9 months (I hope). That's when emotions started to over come some of us. Mikey is the same; he's my sensitive precious boy; he cried a little bit. Crystal well she's "hardcore". Nothing bothers her; except this time her eyes got a little red when Mike hugged her. Sierra, she's 3, come on what can we expect at that age. Well she cried and didn't allow Mike to hold or even look at her. That's when him and I realized that yeah, she understands now. It didn't feel good. Tears gently rolled down my eyes and Mike's eyes grew red.
You know, as I stood there; I realized things were a bit different, even after 14 deployments. It just wasn't the same. I looked around and saw nothing but "civilians". Not a single family there was feeling what we felt (at the moment). We were alone. All by ourselves. *heart breaking* No one was there to support him and/or us. I mean we know whats here in this town. We have plenty of friends, support, and even God! Yet the feeling of emptiness overwhelmed me. I couldn't be there anymore. I had to tell him, "please just go". As I said that, I began to feel like a horrible person, like, I dunno. It was a little difficult to continue to watch the kids begin to feel the pain of their father leaving. And me, "the wife" watching my husband leave. I had to ask him to go. Though I know it won't be forever, I felt like a such a; I don't know.
For the first time; we kind of do feel a little alone right now. I think I know what to do. It's time to pray and read the bible. I have to remember that only the Lord knows what's next for us. It's time to become mom and dad for 9 months and hopefully no more...
Conformation; I know we're not alone, but the feeling there was and is a bit overwhelming.

Only HE knows.
I've been awake for quit some time already. I was a bit restless last night. Mike leaves today. We seem to be feeling much better then prior deployments but it's hit us. Mikey cried last night. Crystal (for the first) is really feeling this. Sierra doesn't understand it. I, well I have to be mom and be strong. I know the Lord has a plan for us. I know that this deployment is a small sacrifice. What more can we give? After all he did sacrifice his life.
So now what? What's left? It's only 30-45 minutes before we head out. Oh Lord give me the strength to get through this day. I, we need you today...Not sure if this is a venting post, or a prayer request post, but whatever it is only God knows...
Jeremiah 29:11
"For I know the plans I have for you," declares the Lord, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future."
