I love this page its sooo touching ..... you did a wonderful job you should be proud of this page even if it was probably one of hardest days youve had to deal with.
I'm crying now . . . I can't even imagine a good-bye like that. I've come to the conclusion that Military women and obviously military men must be some of the strongest people alive.
this page is really original! i wish i had pics of the day my fiance left for his ship, but they would just be me bawling! it was one of the hardest days of my life- great job documenting a tough day.
i think i remember seeing the tabs somewhere but i dont know where so i tried to re-create it as best as i could from memory. it might have been on here. i used a line from the old farewell song "leaving on a jetplane" by the mamas and papas. i also used a label maker for the timestamps. i shalked the tabs with a tan coloring.
this is from the day my fiance left for his first tour to iraq, which wasnt that long ago but seems like forever.
the journaling reads: "5:30- Waking up at 4:30 in the morning was no easy task- especially with the day that lie ahead of her. Nevertheless, she got up, got dressed, and hit the road at 100 MPH for Camp Pendleton." "6:30- An hour and two interrogations later, she was finally past the main gate and parked near other family members- her eyes searching frantically for him." "7:30- If it werent for all the bags and packs surrounding her- she might have forgotten he was leaving. For hours they stood in one another's embrace, breaking only for pictures and formation." "9:30 As the buses pulled in and were then loaded, a last hug and kiss were exchanged between the two. With a sad farewell, he boarded the bus- leaving nothing behind but a promise to return."
