It's almost like ground hogs day already around here. I didn't think this would have happened until I was about 3 or 4 months into the deployment but, it has arrived already without notice. Seems like I have been packing and unpacking and repacking for the past month. What should I put on top? What will I need if its below zero? Do I have enough warm weather gear? Am I forgetting anything? By the way the last question is almost inevitable. These are all questions I have been asking myself the past couple days. I have 3 checked bags and a carry on plus a personal. So trying to remember where everything is and how it is packed can rack the brain a little bit. I have been trying to make myself as available as possible to Lindsey and the kids. Seem like we have almost lived on SKYPE the last week or so. I think that will prove to be very handy on getting through deployment. If anyone ever see's me on feel free to call and say hello. My user name is Adam.Kish, you can find me by email which is adam.j.kish@gmail.com. Also, feel free to send me an email I'd love to hear from you. I appreciate all the feedback and followers on my blog. I'll keep all of you update as humanly possible.
Today, Lindsey informed me one of my old friends had got into an accident. He was in the ICU and has since passed away. I knew his family really well and I'm sure they could use a prayer during this critical time. I have had a lot of time to think about things the last couple days being by myself. I know that I have a family that I couldn't be more thankful for. I just want to thank everyone that came to my going away it really meant a lot to Lindsey and I. Lindsey has a great burden upon her. She is the one that has to take care of our kids while I'm away, and I know she may need to lean on some of you for some help or someone to talk to. She didn't sign up to be a single parent, and just today she was saying how hard it is to get them ready to go to church without me being there. She will do an outstanding job. I have the upmost confidence in her.
I want to give you guys my mailing address in Afghanistan. You are in no way obligated to send me anything but know that if you decide to send something it is greatly appreciated!

I will definitly be thinking of you all for the year and following your blog. May God almighty be your comfort and strength in the months to come, and always!!
ReplyDeleteWell Sgt....did you figure out the Wiki bio yet?
ReplyDeleteLove Ya Bro!
Im pretty sure you are talking about Sgt. Slaughter...Correct me if i'm wrong but I can almost guarantee its him. Very nice edit by the way! Wait until I get back I might even look like him
ReplyDeleteToday is the day I have been dreading since the moment you told me that you were leaving our home for a entire year! I could NOT turn my brain off last night so I didnt sleep at all. I surprisingly feel numb now. Maybe its my mind and body's way of coping
ReplyDeletei dunno. And trust me, I have tried, but I cannot put myself in your shoes. I cannot imagine what you are feeling. As you leave and say goodbye to our house today, please rememebr all of the love and laughter that ususally accompanies it. Remember all the good times and keep them with you at all times. Rememeber that when you get home from work, Sophie running and smothering you with hugs and kisses and screaming "DADDYS HOME!!" And when you get home from deployment, You will have Lucy also greeting you with so much love! We will be right there at our home waiting for you when you return SAFELY!!!!! I love you baby. Stay strong! We are so proud of you and I cant tell you enough!
Ps. Your my favorite :)
