Domingos Deployment Day! Well, there are many teary eyes in the Domingos house tonight. Doug left for you-know-where today. We all got to say our goodbyes and get extra hugs to last us for a while. The last few weeks have been quite an emotional roller coaster between the big deployment ceremony (with Sarah Palin) last week and all of the emotional "lasts". Other military families will understand the "lasts". Last day at church together, last tuck in with the kids, last day to play Frisbee outside, last dinner together as a family, etc., etc. The list could go on and on. I know that in a lot of ways we were ready to say goodbye. Now we can start counting down to the biggest welcome home ever!
It's hard to feel too sorry for ourselves when we know that our quality time together in the last year is more than most families have in ten years. We feel at peace about where we are (including this deployment) and about where we are headed. We know that God never gives us more than we can handle and that His grace is sufficient. Yes! Even enough for this year apart from the daddy my children adore, my biggest fan, my best friend, my husband and my one true love.
Come home soon, Babe!!
