Brad has been in Afghanistan for 2 months now. The second month was easier than the first. I think the kids and I are now in a pretty good routine. We have learned to live our lives without Daddy being here. We look forward to Saturday and Sunday morning skype sessions. We talk about Daddy, write Daddy letters, put care packages together, and talk to Daddy on the phone. Lakyn is still a little shy with the camera, but she is warming up. Conley loves to see Dada on the computer, but he doesn't sit long to talk. Brad did hear him say "Wawa" for waffles this morning. Jayce isn't shy with the camera and really enjoys visiting with his Daddy.
Jayce understands where Brad is and what he is doing. Lakyn told me last week Daddy is in heaven. Of course, my heart nearly stopped. I'm making it a point to talk to her more about Daddy's work. As for me, I'm still confused about time. The days seem to fly by, but 4 months sound so far away. Some days are easier than others. I do things now I really didn't mess with before. I put air in my tires, I vaccum the tahoe, I put chains back on bicycles, I pay bills, I play basketball with Jayce, I make coffee, I stay up too late, to name a few. I have days where I'm really happy, and then I have days when I could just drop to my knees and cry because I miss my husband so much. God is here with me holding my hand.
February has just about come to a close. Basketball season is halfway over, Lakyn turned 4 years old, Valentine's Day came and went, and now we are about to move into March. March 20 will be our halfway mark. March will be my birthday and spring break. I've always liked March, so I'm praying for a good month.
Really, we are all doing quite well. We miss Brad so much, but we are making the most of our time. Good friends and family help so much!
