And we had 6 blissful days.
And on that sixth day, we got word that they would deploy again to Afghanistan. It's honestly been very very hard to find the heart to write anything when there are almost no words for what we've been going through since that day in December.
But today was worth posting about. I have no words for today with regards to me because I just cannot speak of it. But these boys of mine...I must take a moment to say how very proud I am of them. Because today was the beginning of deployment number three for them and they face these goodbyes head-on and without complaint, despite their broken hearts and sobbing tears as the buses took Daddy away. I'm just so heartbroken for my little men but so very very proud of how they handled today.
It takes a lot...A LOT...to give that one last hug and then let go.
And this little one...although he's been in near hysterics all afternoon and evening since he left, he managed to hold it together for one last high-five for Daddy:
These brave little men of ours...T and I are so damn lucky to have them as part of Team Basye.
