I think about all of the men and women in the service making sacrifices but I hadn't given much thought to the families that they leave behind.

What a huge range of emotions you must go through, but need to be strong at the same time.

I hope the time passes quickly for all of you and you are soon reunited. I am sure they miss you just as much as you miss them, so writing many letters will be a big help.

Allow me to reach out with a big hug for each of you - and when you have the really tough days.....come here to Pet Talk and we will give you support and love!
