So one day closer, and it is not seeming that I am getting anymore used to what is about to happen. I keep trying to prepare myself, and tell myself that I will be ok. Honestly I know I will be. I know that the year will probably go faster than I think. I also know that we will miss Jeromey terribly. I know that some days are going to be really rough without my best friend, and that I will be an emotional wreck! Ah, but that is who I am. I have always been a very emotional person, who can cry at the drop of a hat if I’m in the right mood. I know when I get upset it does not make it any easier on Jeromey. (Honey, for this I apologize. I know you hate seeing me cry, and I really do try to stay strong.) I do want Jeromey to know that I support him 100%. I know exactly why he is actually looking forward to this. It is who he is! For those of you who know Jeromey, you know what I’m talking about. He is just one of those people that wants to help. If there is something he can do to help someone he knows, he will do it. It’s one of my favorite things about him. He has a big heart. So with that being said, I know WHY he is more than happy to serve his country. I am very proud of him. To leave your family, friends, and all that is home for an unknown place takes more courage than I could ever muster. Jeromey Allen Ford, You are my hero. You make me proud to be not only YOUR wife, but an army wife. Thank you for all that you do, not just for me and our family but for our whole country. Some days I break down and cry at the thought of him leaving, and some days are a little better. Today is one of those better days where I am filled with pride at my husband’s sacrifice, and I realize that this is bigger than me. In a couple of hours, I may feel differently. I am on an emotional rollercoaster and all I can ask is for God to guide me, my friends and family to put up with me, and my husband to hurry home safely.
