Been there and It sucks. Honestly it was THE worst part of hubby's career so far. I was so lonely and sad for a while! BUT here's the good thing,,, it will get better. You know what I did? I made a stack of little pieces of paper, in your case I might make them normal 8.5X11 pieces of paper and write on each paper how many days til he comes home. I think I started with 60 days, then 59, then 58 and so on. Each day when you get up, go over and rip one off. I thought it would be neat to let your daughter rip them off so she can kind of visualize when he will be home. It REALLY helped me. I had mine on a sticky note pad stuck to my computer monitor at work and it was great for "looking on the bright side" mentality. Hang in there, at least you have your daughter with you. That must help a little. I had no family and only friends who were still interested in the bar scene cause they were all single. It was awful! Good luck! Call on us and vent ANY time you feel like it. HANG IN THERE!!!
