[QUOTE="hexemaus2, post: 389965, member: 4560"] Well at least getting sick had a silver lining! :) I'm glad he was able to get out before getting shipped off. easy child's hubby, (a.k.a. The Favorite Son-in-Law) was shipped out to Afghanistan in Jan 09. Princess Fancy Face (granddaughter #2) was born in April. Luckily, he was able to get 2 weeks paternity leave to be home when she was born, but then was right back out and didn't come home until just before Christmas, when she was almost 9 months old. Now we've been told his unit will be shipped out again by Spring. I worry about him (and easy child) terribly. Our entire family stopped watching the news while he was deployed, so we wouldn't worry about what was going on near him. (He asked easy child not to watch so she wouldn't hear things and worry while she was pregnant with Princess Fancy Face, and to support her, none of us watched either.) It's nerve-racking to think of our kids over there and what could happen. In fact, it was news of his impending first deployment (he was stationed to one of the most deployed forts in the country, so it wasn't an if as much as when) that sped up he and easy child's wedding plans. He wanted to make sure, just in case, that she would be taken care of should something happen. I'm grateful that Jamie and his family (and you) didn't have to face those kinds of concerns. I'm so incredibly proud of how easy child and Hubby have been and continue to handle life as a military family during a war, but I fear for them both. It's not something I'd wish on any Mom. [/QUOTE]
