Time Adjustment

Hello everyone! I hope this week has been a great one for you!

During the time my brother was in Afghanistan, one of the hardest parts was trying to find the time to talk to him. The problem was that when he was able to talk, we were sleeping. The times that we would be able to talk, he would either be working or sleeping. I was in my senior year of high when he was away, and I found it extremely difficult to find the perfect time to talk to him, due to the time difference. The best way we could deal with this confusion was to set up a time, at least once a week, where we could talk. This meant either I would have to stay up really late, or he would have to wake up really early. Either way, we had to make sacrifices in order to communicate during his deployment. Of course, this was worth it. Talking to him assured me of his safety, and I would trade sleep for a conversation again in a heartbeat. Waking up for school the next morning was not always the best feeling, but that's what happens when you're in a military family!

Furthermore, the best idea for you is to check out a world clock to check the time over there. That way, you and soldier will be able to find the perfect time to talk and catch up!

I hope that things are going well. If you're soldier is away right now, remember that some things take time to figure out, but in the end, it is worth it, and it will work out!
