Don't know where else to put this.  Hubby just volunteered to head a Navy team in Thailand to help with the relief efforts for the tsunami disaster.  He will be there for 4 months.


He leaves this Friday.


I am both thrilled and sad...


Please keep him in  your thoughts.

Wow - that's a very brave and generous thing to do.  Thinking of both of you!

how bittersweet... but very commendable of your husband - his help is very much needed, I'm sure... good deeds do not go unnoticed

That is very exciting in a way. I'm glad he answered the call to go help over there.

Gee, I don't know what to say or how I'd feel if I were you..both proud and sad at the same time.


I'll keep you both in my thoughts, but your hubby is a great guy IMO. Plus you have us to keep you busy!

He's awesome, Escrime. You'll miss him but you'll be comforted by the knowledge that you're married to a good person.

Well, he's now leaving tomorrow morning instead of Friday.   He's on the phone getting his flight info right now. 


He initially had turned it down thinking I wouldn't want him to go for so long, but we had talked about it last night, and I told him I think he should go if he really wanted to, and how often really is it that you can actually make a huge impact in a time like this?  And he really does want to go to make a difference, so he told them this morning he was volunteering, and that was that.  He got all his shots already, and he had to do the legal stuff (power of attorney and his will), and we thought we had until Friday, but we don't.


I don't think it has hit either of us yet...

That's awesome!  You are a strong woman!  I admire people in the service and their spouses and family!  I don't know if I'd be able to handle it.  I'll keep you both in my thoughts and prayers and we're here to keep you plenty busy so that the months will seem to fly
