Things To Send

So when Brad left, I swore I was going to send him a package out there once a week. I have sent two packages in the last well almost six months. There is a reason for this. He's constantly moving out there and most of the time he wasn't at the base to recieve his mail. The things that I sent most were cards. I usually go to the NEX about once every week or two and pretty much everytime I went I picked up an I miss you card, or an I love you card. In fact my husband has gotten just about every card the NEX carries in those two categories. I also made a couple of CD's that had love songs and/or just some really good music on them that I knew he would enjoy. In the packages I made sure that pretty much everything that I sent was small and not very heavy. I included dice, cards, uno, and of course otc meds like Airbourne, DayQuil, Benedrayl stuff like that. What gets sent I guess depends on what they're being sent to do. If they're moving around a lot, small stuff matters. Letters are always good, just I never put extremely horrible news or anything that will worry Brad. As far as he will know everything is fine, I miss him like hell, and I write about the mundane happenings going on. I make sure not to mention the crisises, because a. there's nothing he can do over there but worry and b. by the time he gets the letter everything will be resolved and then he's wondering what's going on while waiting for another letter. I have found that a military wife has to be a very strong woman.
