Today did not go as expected. I ended up not being able to be there for one of my friends that I wanted to. She was okay with doing the "see-you-later" on her own, privately with her family. I wanted to be there to make her dinner, but it was important that they kept their routine up. So, I had another day of hanging out and getting some stuff at the store. I also took the time to get a pedicure for the first time in months. I Then had a peaceful lunch by myself and then grabbed the kids.
My other friend is saying "see-you-later" to her husband at 3am tomorrow morning. I want to be there for her so I can drive for her if necessary and maybe take pictures if she wants. The only problem I have is that I had no one to watch the kids at night and I don't want to bring them with me. Luckily for me, my neighbor is keeping my kids for me so I can be with my friend and her family.
I am sure it will be a little rough for me, but no where near as rough as it will be for my friend and her family. I have not been able to get any rest today, but I know I will still be able to deal with it all. I have sent my kids over to my neighbor's house and will be heading out shortly. I just finished talking to my husband and he told me to wish them the best, tell the soldier to stay safe, and that we were going to be there for the family as much as they need us, especially when he comes home. I smile at that thought, because Ian and I really want to repay all my friends for their help during Ian's deployment. We know we will be there for them all as much and for as long as necessary.
