I was going to do an army card with either the Hero set from The Greeting Farm or use Jami's wonderful set, Come Home Soon but well, I just can't. Guess it's too close to home.
So I just decided that this day on my blog would just be a no card day.
Instead, use the time you'd normally use to leave a comment to:
- go hug someone
- tell someone how much they mean to you
- smile at a stranger~~you never know when that smile could mean the world
- send a card to someone just because
- just take a moment and be thankful for all in your life
- Remember all those military families that go through what I'm doing today on a regular basis
- Just take a moment and "be"
I'll be back to cards tomorrow. Thanks for all your support, prayers, thoughts and kind words, they mean so much to me!!
Edited to add that we did take him this morning at 5:00 am. Poor kiddos had to get up at 4:45 am. I'm letting Matthew stay home from school. Sigh....let's start the countdown, 365 more days to go.

Sending huge hugs from here...you made me cry this morning, but you also made me appreciate my family, my country and my life. Hang in there!
Hugs and so much love coming your way. Not much that people say will help you but know we're here supporting you and Sam and praying for him as well as all of our men and women who proudly serve. This too shall pass.
Much love,
Susan
Much love and hugs to you and the kids and special thanks to Sam and all our brave men and women serving overseas. We are all here for you. You are all in my thoughts and prayers.
Big Hugs, Christine
Danni,
Just know that you have all the respect from so so many Americans. When you sign up to be a Military wife you basically sign up to be a Single parent for at least part of your kiddo's lifes and I have so so so much respect for you because of what you are willing to give up for Americans freedoms!!!
Once you have an Addy for Sam let us know I would like to try to send him a card once a month.
I have tears streaming down my face for you right now!! I grew up a Army brat, but I truely do not know if I would be willing to do it as a Mom and for that I am so so so so thankful to those of you who are!!!
All week has been a rough week and I am not used to Hubby being gone for more than a day or two at a time, and a month around Harvest time basically so I just do not know how you can handle it I WILL keep you in my thoughts and prayers though I doubt that brings you much comfort at the moment but I hope it will help in the long run!!!
I wont say it will be O.K. or Hang in there because I bet right now you do not feel much like Hanging in there!!! You know what that is O.K. to feel that way right now!!!
Heather
Much love to you, Sam and the kids. You're all in my thoughts and prayers today and in the time to come.
I woke up this morning and remembered today was the day....Danni...big big hugs coming your way for you and kids. I be counting down the days with you.
Oh Danni...I wish I could really...really wrap my arms around you and tell you, that you've been in my heart and on my mind all week....Maybe...by the time you read this...it'll be 364 more days...and counting! {{{HUGS}}}
Sending bug hugs to you Danni. I'll keep you and your family in my thoughts and prayers!
I'm praying for his safety, for your strenth, and for the children's understanding. Thank you for your sacrifice.
Big hugs to you Danni! I'm sorry that your DH has to go. The sacrifice that the soldiers, wives, and family is a lot and I thank your husband, you, and your family for that sacrifice.
Take care and we'll be here for to support you!
