Thanks for sharing your story and writing this note for others. I like to share it with my card making group at work. It will remind them how very important the work that they do.

Thank you for sharing this story. The closest I've ever come to this is when my husband went on a mission trip to a very remote area in Nicaragua. Not being able to hear his voice for several days was awful. I couldn't imagine what the men and women in our armed forces go through for months at a time.

One of the reasons I decided it would be a good idea to make cards for OWH was because my husband and I had a long-distance relationship, and we were living on opposite sides of the world for almost five years before we got married. He's not a big letter-writer, but the few notes and cards that he sent me were ultra-precious - and that was when we were talking on the phone for hours twice a day every day! He's away on a business trip this week and I can't talk to him until the evening because he's working, and it's reminded me again how much you miss your loved one when they're not there! And my Love will be home at the end of the week...

Well said, Kim.

Beautifully put Kim. I agree that its worth taking the time to reflect on the many and deep sacrifices those in the military make for all of us, and you letter has helped many of us do just that.

Thanks for sharing ..and I agree! When I don't hear from my hubby all day, and I feel sad...I will stop and think how lucky I am compared to the military families that don't see their loved ones for months or more! I am so Thankful for all they do..it makes making cards so special to me.

I have actually experienced both of these situations...a deployed husband and then when he went to BLEA and that is tough, not being able to talk with your loved one for days on end...for everyone.

I'm glad that I've finally participated in this project and I hope to have many more boxes of cards to send to the soldiers!

Thanks for sharing. It does put new perspective on why we are making and sending these cards to our heros.
