Troy flew down to my parents' place to help them move here. He and my parents made these arrangements to give Troy a sense of peace that things would be alright with our family while he is away, to help our kids cope better with his absence, and to alleviate some of the added stress in my life.
The coming of my parents, though, signifies it is getting closer to the time that Troy will be leaving for training and then deploying to Iraq. I do feel the strain of that knowledge pressing in. There are times that I just want to curl up in a ball and lock my door to the world. But then I remember, he is here, now. And even when he does go, the world is a very small place these days with internet and technology to maintain communication. I am grateful for what I have today.
