Got a call

I received a call from my husband at 3:00 in the morning. He has regained some of the hearing in his left ear. The eardrum wasn't shattered like was first thought, but still has some hearing loss. Aside from that he is doing fine. He misses the kids and I. We are under the half way point in this deployment. I will be so glad when this deployment is over, we have lost to many good guys in the last 3 years.
The kids are looking forward to 10-12 days of spring break with their great-grandparents. I try to keep the facts away from my children as much as I possibly can. Sometimes I succeed sometimes I don't. It is hard sometimes to keep the information from them as they see me upset and crying. I know that they are old enough to understand, but I want them to still have faith in the people of the world.
