Okay, so departure day has come, and well has almost passed at this point, and despite my emotional instability throughout the week - I held it together great at the airport... until I got to the car at least, but hey, that's commendable right?
I've had my sporadic bouts of crying, sobbing, and just tearing up... not to mention I've felt like I could of had strep-throat for weeks trying to swallow the lump that's been sitting there. And while my white pillow case didn't make it out in great shape (damn not washing off my mascara before bed), I feel that all in all I am doing great! I mean, there is no better way to ensure my tear ducks are in perfect health :)
In fact, just to give them an extra go for their money, I came home from the airport and watched Grey's newest episode and the movie The Help - holy tear jerkers!! It was good though, I feel better just letting myself have a moment here and there rather than holding it all in, inevitably exploding at some insignificant event like realizing I'm sat at the toilet with no toilet paper and now there is no one to call out to to bring some in.... but I digress....
So far, Day One has almost been accomplished and it wasn't that bad. Besides, Dan has only made it as far as Gagetown, NB yet... my tear ducks will really get a run for their money the day he actually deploys!
PS - Big shout out to all my great friends who checked in on me today to make sure I was okay! Just being checked on made me feel great. :)
