Here are a few things NOT to say to a woman after her husband has deployed:
1. Oh, I am SO sorry, that must be awful.
2. Oh, I totally understand, mine left for 2 days last week. I thought I'd die.
3. Let me know if I can do anything for you.
4. I don't know how you live like that.
5. Again? I thought he just got home?
Things TO say:
1.How are you feeling?
2. How long will he be gone?
3. Is this his first deployment?
4. I would love for you and your kids to come and have dinner with us. Is Thursday okay?
5. We will keep him and you in our prayers.

How are you feeling? Uggg, I hate all that stuff all over the floor and a day early. Figures.... Jonathan got told today that they do not know where he is going, what the date is they leave or how long he will be gone. So organized this situation is.... I will try to give you a call over the next few days. I would love for you and the boys to come to dinner..might be a bit far though. :)
TTYL,
Martha
