Deployment Day #53

In a moment of insanity I decided to head to the mall with my three little girls to get them a few long sleeved shirts.

We also did this….

She was so brave, not even a tear until after it was all over!

As we were heading up the escalator and I was giving myself a little pat on the back for surviving the mall with the three little girls… Cora fell down the escalator.

Like head over heels, out of control, fall down the escalator.

I was able to grab her after the second tumble and she was fortunate to only have a little scratch on her leg.

I think I’m starting to get sick, which would just stink but is probably inevitable.

I can’t believe Christmas is just a few days away and that we will be celebrating it without dad for the first time. I know this is nothing new for many families, but it just doesn’t seem right.

Not at all.

My husband has been deployed to the Middle East for 274 days.  These are my real thoughts expressing my heart during his absence.  I appreciate your prayers and kind words as we cope, adapt, and carry on without him until August 2014.  To read from the beginning, click here.

    Hi Toni,
    After reading through all of your days without David I have new understanding about what it is like… You are newly in my prayers and will remain there. <3 Jean (Hope you haven't succumbed to sickness.)
