I could go on and on about this subject. I wish I was your neighbor! My husband has been deployed on two 18 mo. tours in the last 5 years. He is in the ARNG we don’t live anywhere near a base. Being a wife of a deployed soldier is lonely on so many levels.
Wishing your family all the best.

I also found you through Ree -
The Canadians are also heavily deployed and I sure do hope we are looking after each other better than you were treated recently. That’s just unacceptable for neighbors to treat each other like that – deployment or no deployment. Geewhizgolly..that was AWFUL.
But what really amazed me was ‘fifteen dollars an hour baby sitter’…who was she? The Queen of England??? Holy Hannah – that’s highway robbery! xoxo the fan

Woman you are living in the wrong hood, that’s all I have to say. We have a ton of military in our subdivision and everyone is always helping each other out. Even those of us who are not get help from our neighbors. I was taken by ambulance one year and had emergency brain surgery. Gone for 2 weeks and I swear my husband and daughter never once had to make a meal, the neighbors just kept on bringing food over. They did a ton of other stuff for us that season too, getting us a Christmas tree because they didn’t think we’d have time too, and even getting my kid presents. I can’t even fathom not helping a military wife whose husband is deployed. If your lawn was overgrown my neighbors would just mow it for you. Yeah, you need to get your husband stationed to Texas, we take care of our own. Seriously, I just do not get your neighbors…

There are no words to even say how much my family and
I appreciate what your husband and every other service man or woman is doing to protect our freedom and our country. I will be praying for his safe and speedy return. I will also be praying that God places his loving arms around you and your girls to protect you and comfort you in his absence. I found your blog from Ree’s, love it!

Sometimes those that want to support the troops don’t realize that the best way they can support them is to support their families. Hope your daughter is feeling much better now… I’m sure you were very scared.

We lived off-base at our last base and it’s amazing how much different it is from military housing. Living on-base everyone bands together and looks out for each other, off-base you are pretty much on your own. My husband is now retired and I sure do miss the closeness of the military community. My neighbors have the stickers also, but I wonder what they would sacrifice for this country. My husband has had people buy his lunch while he’s in uniform (before he retired) but what would they have done for me I wonder. I hope your daughter is feeling better. I would have gladly watched your children and you wouldn’t have had to ask, I would have offered.
