I can't believe it. Today I saw posted on the unit Facebook page that they are going to conduct reintegration training for families... You know what this means?!?!? It means that we are getting closer and closer to the homecoming. I know we still have over 4 months left, but the fact that they are starting to plan out these trainings shows me how close we are getting.
I am a little nervous about the reintegration training. For those of you who might not know, reintegration training helps teach the families what to expect with the return of their soldiers and how to cope with reintroducing them to our families. It is also to tell us about some of the problems we might face with our soldiers and the fact that all of us will be different somehow. Not just the soldiers, but the spouses too. We all will have changed, it is normal in this experience, but we won't really know until the soldier is home what the changes are or how we will handle them. So, that is what they are trying to do, prepare us for it all. I am nervous mostly about hearing all the what-ifs and the stories. I know it will not all apply to me, or at least I hope, but it is still a concern. I know I am jumping the gun a bit, he isn't even home yet, but it is something that I need to start thinking about now before the excitement of him coming home actually takes over.
At least I can say that time is passing and going relatively quickly for now. I made it through another day and will make it through about 130+ more until he is in my arms again, and all the worry will be just a memory.
