When everything in your body just sinks. Its horrible. Its hard waking up in the morning knowing its the last time you'll get to wake up next to him for a year. Its hard making breakfast knowing its the last you'll eat together for a year. Its hard to smile and try to have fun knowing its the last few hours before the last car ride together. Its hard sitting at a table talking and laughing with Soldiers in uniform when you know that in mere hours they will be on a plane to Afghanistan. Its harder to watch the final formation before families have to leave and the Soldiers draw weapons. Its harder yet to know its the last hug, the last kiss, and the final goodbye. Putting the key in the ignition and the car in drive have never been harder to do, and never has the drive off post been so long, or the desire to just turn back around been harder to resist. The tears dont stop. Its hard to be strong, but easier to break down in the car instead of in front of everyone. The drive home is long, traffic isnt noticed. Music turned up just to drown out the thoughts. Home to the couch and the dogs, thankful there are no kids to try to explain this to. Heart sinking more and more as the hours pass by in silence. A few texts, "We are on the buses" "We are on the plane" "I love you, goodbye". A quick call to make sure all is well on both ends. Plane leaves, another group of Soldiers off to war.
Good luck, keep safe. Please come home, all of you.
704BSB - especially HHC, most importantly the Security Platoon- you are all in my thoughts and prayers daily.

Flatirons KC Shows
....were interesting.
Pyro went Reserve to the major on Saturday, which was exciting and disappointing at the same time. Would have been much nicer to just win the darn thing! He got completly dumped in his class on Sunday. Prada got dumped on Saturday despite turning in a beautiful performance for me...oh well...the judge either hated her front or hated her lack of pigment. Gibbs went WD/BOW for point #5. Sunday, Gibbs again went WD for point #6 (although the judge marked the book wrong, and I need to call and get it fixed) and Prada, handled by Brian, went WB/BOW for point #8 for her. I just may get them all finished this year! LOL. Just need two majors for Gibbs and one on Prada!!
We are done with shows now until the end of June...plenty of time for maturity between then and now! lol.
Broker will debut at the next shows...and then of course, Gibbs, Louie, Prada, and Pyro as well.
