Hay Lisa,

 Today was a little rough for me, im unemployed right now because i just had a baby almost 3 weeks ago even though my baby is in the nicu I still cant work right now.So I think that I have too much time too think about my husband and it gets rough but my 20 month old daughter thank God for her

keeps me company and sometimes keeps my mind off of my husband. Thanks for asking. How are you today? Any sadness? 

Have you recieved Christian's box yet? I wish the form didnt take so long to come because even though i feel better writing I would feel better if I knew he was reading them.

OMG LISA I FEEL A LITTLE BETTER TODAY. It rained today in dallas were it has not rained for over 40 days and we have had temps of 100 or more for about 3 months staight. I saw my son in the Nicu last night and he is doing great he weighs 5lbs now and is so cute (at 1st he looked like a little old man- the case of Benjemin Button lol)  but i still love him I haven't even cried yet today but I know its coming it doesnt take much to get me started. Ive just been writing waiting for his form letter so i can have a address.If it doesn't come soon I might ask if his recruiter if he has it. How about you, how was work???

Vonecia--You have your hands FULL with two small kids.  It is completely normal to feel sad and lonely with your husband gone, let alone being overwhelmed with the responsibility of two small children and one in the hospital.  Like the others have said, you can and will make it through! Pray and know others are praying for you. Hopefully you'll get your form letter by mid week and be able to send him all the letters you are writing.  I know it is hard, but try to keep your letters upbeat because he's going to be incredibly lonely missing you and the kids.  Make sure you tell him funny stories about the things your daughter is saying and doing.  Take pictures and try to incorporate them into your letters if you can. Even though you may not be together when he's in A school, it will be SOOO much better because you can call and text almost every day!  Look forward to that.  :)  God bless you and your children.  May God protect your family and bring you through these rough seas.
