    Oh, KC.. I’ve visited your blog from time to time, and am sad to see this post. It flat out stinks. Our Daddio just returned from a year deployment, so I know how hard this is. Our family will lift yours up daily during this separation. Thank you for your loving support. God Bless all of you.
    Your fellow military spouse and sister in Christ,
