Family: My husband is preparing to
deploy soon, so my family is helping to support me and my daughter. While he is
away, my daughter and I will receive support from our family. Without my family,
my daughter and I would be all alone when my husband leaves for deployment. I
am truly blessed to have them in our lives.
Monetary: With this support, I am able to
purchase things needed (food, clothes) and a few wants. I am also able to pay
my bills with this support. None of this would be possible without this
monetary support.
To Do List: I am thankful for this support
because I do not have to struggle to remember things I need to accomplish or get
from a store. This keeps me on track and sane!
(If these
supports were gone, I really do NOT know what I would do. I know for a fact
that it would be extremely difficult to cope and live day to day)
Challenge: Having no support when my
husband deploys. I would need and want support from family and close friends.
Life would be hard for me if I was all alone with my 6 month old with no family
or close friends around. It is scary to imagine this! I definitely need the support
of my family, monetary support, and my lists to help me remember things. Life
as I know it would be over if I did not have these supports.
Hi Ashley,
ReplyDeleteI enjoyed your post. I have two very close friends who are currently deployed. One has been gone a year and has signed up for another. It is not easy having a loved one away and I can only imagine what its like for it to be a spouse. So glad to hear you have the support of your family while your spouse is away and I pray he returns home to you and your daughter safely.
Hi Ashley,
ReplyDeletelovely post. Like Alycia, I have a friend who is deployed right now as a civilian this time though. He has already done multiple tours in the Army but this time it was a little different. Still the same feeling though when they are not around. I know that his wife stays busy and talks to him as much as possible and has done a great job in supporting him. I know it is going to be tough for you but its great that you will have your family to help you through this time apart. To do lists are an amazing thing. I know I have "mommy brain" a lot and without my lists I would forget everything so I can totally see the importance of them. Lastly monetary support is what gets us through in the world we live in. Without it, we would not be able to support ourselves nor our children. Great post and good luck with your husbands deployment.
Hi Ashley,
ReplyDeleteAn interesting post. I can only imagine what a lonely void will be there when your husband is deployed. It is good to hear that you have the support of your family and friends. Indeed we cannot get through life without monetary support. Trust God always. He is our greatest support.
