ramblings of life

My oldest son is preparing for his very first deployment. I am going crazy just thinking of him leaving and being so far away for a indefinite amount of time. I know as parents we must face our kids leaving the nest and making life on their own, but this is different. I honestly don’t know how I’m going to get through this. He’s not even left yet, he’s currently training for his deployment. I just feel kind of isolated and like I am loosing a part of me. I have gone to the library and checked out some books about families dealing with deployment of their loved ones. I’m totally engrossed in the book. I’m hoping this helps somewhat. Just knowing my son will be so far away, and there will be no way I can get to him, is a bit much to deal with. I’m looking a chatroom for Mothers of sons deploying. Anyone with information on a National guard mothers chatroom, let me know please. The book I am reading is titled ” While They’re at War,The True Story of American Families on the Homefront” by: Kristin Henderson. So far the book is great, I’m looking forward to finishing it. I have a few others as well, I love reading and if anyone reading this could recommend some other books dealing with delpoyment and The National Guard I’d appreciate those as well.
