This is the last time the kids and I saw My Favorite Soldier as we watched him walk away to the buses that would take him away from us for 15 long months. We are almost half way thru our deployment woohoo. We are anxiously waiting for January to get here because that's when My Favorite Soldier will be coming home for R&R. We will get 18 wonderfully short days with him!!
I choose this picture this week because Michelle's hubby is currently home on R&R and is leaving to go back to the sandbox very soon. Its a rough time for them and I thought I'd share the post that she wrote when our soldiers left all those many months ago, its a very accurate description of what we go thru.

aww - this is tooooooo sad
First of all, thank you for your husband's service.
Second, what a touching photograph. I hope this is the fastest 37 days in history but I know for you, it will be the longest.
I don't know how you do it. I hope the time comes quickly for you and then slows down when he is here.
choking up here. There's nothing worse than the drive home without the hubby.
Thank you Brandy, for everything you've gone through and had to do without for the rest of us.
Oh, this brought tears to my eyes.....I'm glad you are half way through this deployment!
My thanks is all I can give to you and your beautiful family.
I am LOVING the pics of your girls picking roses- so lovely.
Your blog has reminded me to give my husband a long kiss when I see him.
what a precious picture. It got me all choked up. I can't imagine what that must be like. I hope that the time passes quickly.
When I saw the picture it brought instant tears to my eyes and then I read your words -- my heart goes out to you and to everyone who endures this! I will pray for snow!!
A magical WW to you!
Oh...that is so sweet and sad!
Happy Thanksgiving, and thank you to you and your husband! May the days pass quickly for you!
wow, that is emotionally overwhelming and i am just an outsider looking in...i hope the time flies until your favorite soldier returns!
Hurry up January, get here! And then let time stand still, eh? Hope you have a nice THanksgiving even though it would be better with hubby home.
Hoping this time passes quickly for you. Happy Thanksgiving. Thanks for stopping by.
You military wives are so much braver than I could have been at that stage in life. You have not only my gratitude, but also my admiration.
Hope you have a magical holiday season! So great that you get to see your guy soon!
It sucks that he had to leave again. The whole thing sucks.
I hope December flies by for you!
I know I'm on the wrong week for WW, but just scrolled through some of your older posts. Thanks for visiting my WW.
Your family will be in my thoughts and prayers. I know a girl whose favorite soldier just left a few weeks ago for a year...she's home with 3 little bitty children. Blessings to you and to all of the families who are missing their loved ones. And thank you to them for their brave service.
Beautiful picture! Wow!
Thanks for sending everyone my way too! I love some bloggy attention but my boys keep me too busy to do the WW and the other things most of the time!
