Today, I am sitting in a hotel room in Killeen, Texas. Kevin is at work on Fort Hood and my kids are at home in San Antonio with my parents. In two days, on Friday, Kevin will deploy with his unit. He is going to Afghanistan and will be gone for a year.
I am trying so hard to be brave. I am trying so hard not to cry. It doesn't work and for the first time, while I type this, I can't stop my tears. I knew this day was coming. I've known since February but now it's here and it's real and I can't stop it.
I volunteered to be a key caller for the unit so that I could stay in contact with other people and not feel so alone. I don't think it's going to work. I think the loneliness will find me anyway.
