There is no way I can't cry. This time I started about 48 hours before he left, and didn't stop until 48 hours after he left. This time, it was just too hard for me to do all the sitting around and waiting. Especially when I see all the kids there crying, and the spouses, parents, grandparents, etc. Just watching them, I get emotional, then I get even sadder knowing my husband never has any family there, just me. 

i ran mines foot over i was in such a hur.ry

Thats how it will be for my husband and I. We have no children, and all our family lives in California. It bugs me too, because hes mentioned a couple times how he wished his sisters could be there or someone. 

The last 2 times my husband deployed we all hung out until it was time for him to go do his thing. It gives us that little extra time to be together.

I will go to a lot of single soldiers going away as well because I don't think anyone should be alone before they leave. 

Oh I forgot to mention we will be doing the same thing again this time. 

because I don't think anyone should be alone before they leave.

I agree. 

I agree.

Some people should be alone.

I embrace that. Less drama

For me, it's okay. I'm glad knowing when he leaves, I can come home and cry in peace without having a bunch of people here. But I know for him, it's kinda sad. He won't admit it, but I can tell he wishes some family was there, at least his mom and his daughter. 

Go to the Clarksville Speedway!! Friday nights they have the drag strip and on Saturday they have the dirt/oval track! There is a consession stand with food ( hot dogs and burgers , ect) and beer and sodas. Go to clarksvillespeedway.com for more information :)

Saturday nights are like watching the Whacked out Sports clips.. there is always something happening on the track :) 

Go jump in the river, swim to the bottom and breathe in. 

We never really do anything outside the norm before he leaves except try to devour as much of each other as possible. Same with mid-tour leave. We've tried doing stuff before, but it ends up being a hassle and we really don't want the stress.

I'm proud that I only cried a day when he left this last time, but then I cried for almost two weeks when he left after r&r.
