I'm With You

I've decided to start a blog to express my feelings the best way that I can. I'm the type of person to bottle my feelings up and save them for later. I need an escape from everyday life and it's hard for me to do that so... why not start a blog, right?

Moreover, this blog is dedicated to those of us who are left behind. My boyfriend is about to deploy to Iraq. I've read the message boards, the books, the magazine articles, and nothing seems to get through to me but my own story. I've never dealt with deployment before, so I want to put my story out there for anyone to read at any time. You may not like what I have to say sometimes and I apologize for that in advance. I won't be leaving anything out, these are my feelings and frustrations about deployment and the aloneness that will be coming along for the ride.
