Transition

Can I just say I have compassion for soldiers who get deployed for 12-18 months then come home to their families again?  It is not easy to turn off your brain and just "jump in" to something.  And we were only gone two weeks!  Mornings are the biggest adjustment I guess.  I keep waiting for a group of 6 or 7 neighbors to come to the door and ask how Ellie's doing and make a plan for our day.
