Goodbyes Suck

Writing

Sent my galleys back to my editor today. Very few changes. Looking forward to get a preview of the cover art.

Everything Else

My hubby got 72 hours of liberty before shipping out. It was wonderful to have him home, but saying goodbye was SO much harder this time around. Last time, I knew I'd be hearing from him every day. Now? Well, he'll call me when he gets in to the base tonight, but after that, I don't know when I'll hear from him again. A few days? A week? Two?

And I am reminded of all the wives and families left behind during WWI and II - they were lucky if they heard from their loved ones every few months. Sometimes it was years. I cannot even begin to fathom the strength those women had.

Got freedom? Thank a vet.

Then thank his wife.
