It is. Autumn is my favorite time of year. Unfortunately this year it is a bit bittersweet. I had been looking forward on taking motorcycle rides through the White Mountains this fall with hubby. That's going to have to wait another year.

I guess that's part of why I haven't been around much. I know we volunteered for him to go back over. This is what we felt like we needed to do. I'm just having a hard time with all of the things that I said last year he would be here to do this year, but he's not. Since I know I'm probably not that pleasant to be around, I've been trying to keep to myself.

Thank your husband for his service.

God bless him and you.

If you ever feel down go to the Canteen thread.

We are there for our Troops and their family members and all are welcome.

Well, bless your heart, mrstank. Your sacrifice and his is appreciated more than I can say, but I know that is small consolation when you miss him so much and when your plans have to be put on hold.

God bless you both and may this year speed by and bring him back home to you soon. :-)
