Jamie - keep smiling
I know a little how you feel - my husband isn't gone on the weekends, but he works out of town and is gone every week from Sunday night until Friday night. But we miss him so much when he is gone. I try not to think about hoe much we miss him but I keep think of how hard it must be on him to be away from his wife and his children. I know that it is much worse for him. So that keeps me going, telling myself if he can get through this then so can we. Keep your chin up and keep that smile on your face - you're right, you're boys need ya!
Take care and I am thinking about you.
Jamie
