I have never felt closer to my Heavenly Father and my children then when he was gone. I felt at peace and knew I was taken care of. You are also taken care of. It will be hard some days, but remember that you can always ask for help and HE will always help you. Good luck. Let me know if you need anything or anyone to talk to!!Stewart Familyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06379992703737606420noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7723299406663612693.post-58680882319533094182009-08-20T21:16:35.126-05:002009-08-20T21:16:35.126-05:00Liz, Now that I've been to the Temple I under...Liz, Now that I've been to the Temple I understand the peace that you can experience there.

On the bright side you are smart, know your resources, are a fighter, are hard-working, have the gospel, and have been dedicated to your marriage thus far. Those are the things that create a protective factor in deployments. You are miles ahead of other people! The heart-wrenching piece is the absence of a man you love, who you are used to supporting you. I'm sure Scott still will, however your resources will be the physically help you need, whatever ones you have. What I have gathered from counseling other couples, is that they group and become stronger if you have that mind-set, and you become more prepared as the deployments repeat. There are fun ways to keep in touch, including dates online, where couples eat dinner, and surf the internet for fun things, or share music etc. I'm sure you know some fun things to do already. My heart goes out!<br />I have a favor. What is your address and phone number. I have the government security form and I have to identify people that I went to school with and stuff. If you could provide me with your info that would awesome! If you can email it to me at heidster007@gmail.com soon, that would be wonderful!

We had a very peaceful time as well. I love spending time with your kids. Little do you know how much that helped me and Brent cope with our own kids being away for the summer. <br /><br />As for Scott's delpoyment I can't say that I can relate to your situation. However, I am always here for you to vent with, or leave the kids with so you can have some alone time. Need a coke? I'm your girl. Wanna come to dinner for a change of scenery? I'm here for ya. Love ya girl.

I'm so glad you got to go the Temple with Scott. <br />It won't be easy but after this first deployment you might realize that's it's not too bad and that you are stronger and more capable than you think. <br />I'll keep you and Scott in my prayers.Angelahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04556539911589085548noreply@blogger.com
