Kathy,

I can understand your feeling two different ways. Being a veteran and an army wife and a mother gives one two different sets of feelings and priorities. I know if one of my daughters were in the military I would be very proud of them and worried about and for them at the same time.

Echoing others advice here of keep talking, stay open and don't keep things inside. This on top of what you're dealing with right now probably makes this feel more stressful than before.

Hugs to you and Jen for being military moms and worrying. When I was stationed overseas I knew I didn't have to worry because my mom worried enough for both of us. Now that I'm a mom I understand why.
