My heart is full of love for him. And I am so proud of the men and women who step up to defend and protect our liberties and freedoms. So I thought I'd share this......a poem that circulates a lot with Navy wives, one that applies just perfectly to each one of us. Enjoy.
(*I had to google to find the author, so if this is wrong, please let me know :)
I am a small and precious child,my dads been sent to fight
The only place I'll see his face,is in my dreams at night.
He will be gone too many days for my young mind to keep track.
I may be sad,but I am proud. My daddy's got your back..
I am a caring mother. My son has gone to war..
My mind is filled with worries that I have never known before.
Everyday I try to keep my thoughts from turning black.
I may be scared,but I am proud..My son has got your back..
I am a strong and loving wife,with a husband soon to go.
There are times I'm terrified in a way most never know.
I bite my lip,and force a smile as I watch my husband pack..
My heart may break,but I am proud..My husbands got your back..
I am a soldier..Serving Proudly,standing tall.
I fight for freedom,yours and mine by answering this call.
I do my job while knowing,the thanks it sometimes lacks.
Say a prayer that I'll come home. It's me whose got your back.

Deployments (or sea duty) are rough. My hubby just got home in Oct, and is leaving again in June. I know this isn't the first time you've been through it, but that doesn't make it any easier, or hurt any less. I just wanted to let you know that while your husband has my back, I've got yours! We military wives have to stick together! Love and hugs to you Momma!
