Back to Reality

Charlie left to go back to Iraq on Sunday. It was so hard to send him back and even harder to come home to our house where he left shoes in the floor and clothes on the bed. I feel like I was living in a wonderful dream where my family was complete and we were so happy and then I woke up and I'm alone again. Aidan is taking it pretty hard and cried twice when we got home. Luckily Lori invited us over for supper so he was able to play with his friends and get his mind off Daddy leaving again. Rachel seems to be handling it pretty well, she doesn't understand the concept of time very well so I don't think she understands how long he is going to be gone.

One more game of Lego Star Wars...
