I will look through all the stuff - I've got a big folder here from the Red Cross.
While I know that this deployment has already gone so much faster than the last one, I - unfortunately - just realized something yesterday: when Philip went to Saudi Arabia in 2001, he was gone a little over 3.5 months. Though it seemed like a long time then and that the days passed slowly, it wasn't and they really didn't. He's been gone almost exactly as long now, but it's knowing that he's nowhere near done that's making this one so much harder, I guess.
