I missed his im

My husband has been deployed for a month now. This is our first deployment. He will be home in October. He is in the Navy on board the U.S.S. Comfort. I guess he was finally able to instant message me today, but I was out with my sister-in-law and son to see Harry Potter. I came home and saw the instant message from him and started to cry. I miss him so much. Finally, I would have had immediate responses instead of the long waits with snail mail and email. I called my sister-in-law and told her what happened. She said that I just can't wait by the computer to hear from him and that I have to get out of the house. I just keep thinking I should have been here. I have been trying to keep busy and get out of the house, to make the time go by faster. Someone please tell me what to do....do I stay busy or stay by the computer. Everyone tells me it gets easier...I'm still waiting.....

My husband left for 3 months while I was 5 months pregnant last Summer & I didn't have any family at all living close by . . . I decided to go work out one morning and saw my phone ring but thought it was a 1800 number that was calling and missed my husbands call too! I cried, and cried, but after a day or so we got in touch w/ each other . . . I think you should get out, but when you're home keep your ears peeled for the IM sound! Maybe you should wait to go out often until you've "chatted" with him! It's normal -- and no one at all can understand this until they've been through the same! (Sorry to your sister, but if she hasn't experienced it before, she can't say a darn thing).
