Saying Goodbye

Saying goodbye never gets easier. We are on our 3rd year long tour. On May 11, 2011 we sent off the 615th. It effects each of us different in our own ways. Dax has gotten use to saying goodbye or is really good at not showing his emotions. He acts as if everything is normal. As the year will continue he will become a very angry child that his daddy is gone it will get tough.

Trisha Ann is very much like her mama. She wears her emotions on her sleeve. Poor girl cryed all the way home and cried herself to sleep that night. She will be counting down til her daddy gets home.

Peyton is such a daddy's boy but I think he is still to young to fully understand how long his daddy will be gone. He cried when his daddy left for a few min but then went on with his business. HE will miss his best bud and cuddly buddy thats for sure.

John whole world is these kids. I know its hard on him to say goodbye to them even though he dont show it.

I knew the day was coming that I would have to say goodbye to my husband. The night before I just layed in his arms knowing it would be the last time for awhile and just cryed. Saying goodbye was so hard so hard to let him go. I love him more than words could tell you and I will miss him every day that he is not here with us.

Saying goodbye is hard but it gets us one step closer to saying hello again.
