He flies on Sunday

[piskieinboots]

I will cry

The good news is it is a three-monther instead of a six-monther, small consolation at this stage tho!

Sends hugs

[janeyo]

I hope the time passes quickly for you - try and keep busy - trite I know, but I don't have any words to make you feel better.

[shirlthegirl43]

Hugs to you both from us over here Piskie. If you fancy an adventure, pop over and visit.

(Great news that it is a shorter stint)

[bluemoon]

Oh, no. Best wishes to you both.

[kirsty b]

((hugs)) Piskie. At least it is half the time you were expecting. I feel sure the time will fly and pray he comes home safe to you.
Your welcome here for tea an sympathy anytime you like

This is terrific news, although you might not think so at the mo.*

Time does whiz by quickly, I promise you.
Exercise1: look back at your diary/journal/contacts/to do list - list 'events' that you actioned 3 months ago - see how many of them you think 'I could have sworn that I spoke to X a week or two ago - maybe last month' and didn't realise it was that long ago
Exercise2: time goes quicker the second part of a period than the first (if you don't believe me, think of your last holiday - you see the whooooooole holiday stretched out in front of you, but at half way through you are almost home - think ahead just 6wks, the rest will take care of itself.

I would worry if you didn't cry.

Hugs to you both. xx

*relatively speaking - it's better than 6 months

Piskie wish snowdrop well from us and keep safe. Three months seems a long time in these circumstances but it will pass quickly. Keep busy, good job you have those kittens to keep you company. Make a few dates to meet up with friends and family, look forward to those times. Before you know it he will be home again.
Hugs to you and all the other wives, girlfriends, mums, dads, families who's sons and daughters are in the forces.

[zazen999]

Aw, Piskie.....thinking of you and who are you gonna boss about for 3 months? I suspect the kittens...

[HeyWayne]

Hey there missus - time will fly, Bean is already almost 6 months old!

You have your boys, and girls to keep you out of mischief.

He'll be back before you know it - plus he's Bookfacing now I see.

[Headfry]

I am thinking of you Piskie, hope the time passes quickly.
Hugs to you both

It's grotty I know, first week is the worst, Keep busy, make plans, be brave and do stuff!

Don't watch the news, you'll just torture yourself, you're better off getting your info straight from SD.

Just think of all those soppy love letters/ blueys you can send each other!

LOL! Some of the kits hilarious these days isn't it?
Last time OH went to Iraq they even supplies antibacterial boxers (what they trying to say?) and his cam cream came in a compact schweetie!!!!

[scarey55]

I will cry

Wot, more than when Ianto died????

Still, as everyone has already said, 3 months, instead of 6 is a bonus and hopefully after that he can stay home for a while.

Keep your pecker up doll, it'll be over soon. Don't forget, if you want a change of scenery we're only just over the water (OK, a teensy bit more than that) but you get my drift.

He'll be home before you know it. put an extra sandwich in his spotted hankie from us and a HUGE big hug to you both XXX
