So we are now 1 month into this very long deployment. Me and the girls are starting to adjust to not having Troy around, but the pain of missing him is great. It is so hard to go to bed alone with no one to hold, and on those rough days it's hard no being able to just pick up the phone and call him. I know that we will endure, and that absence makes the heart grow fonder, but by golly I think I'm fond enough of Troy. Shoot we celebrated our 9th anniversary the day after his departure. This was our first anniversary apart, and my second birthday without him. It is those special days that make me miss him the most. The girls and I had a lot of fun this Easter, but it was sad that Troy missed it. In partnership with Operation HomeFront we held the first ever 1249th Battalion Easter Egg Hunt at Heritage park. The kids all had a blast look for eggs, and the parents seems to enjoy themselves too. The first of many holidays without daddy, I have very big shoes to fill, but I'm determined to make sure that every holiday is celebrated together just me and the girls. We will make it thru this long separation.
