I've been thinking today about why I am not torn apart that Mike is gone. I got teary eyed when he hugged Luke goodbye (He will be a stranger to Luke when Mike returns), but for myself, no. I will be lonely, I'm sure, and I will worry. But I'm not the type who worries about things; it won't be a constant black cloud that follows me around. And we've gone through many periods of separation - when he was trucking, and the two 6 mo. military schools. Maybe that's why I'm not mourning. I've already gone through that particular fire, and I didn't burn.
