At the beginning of my deployment I thought that writing this blog would be a great way to keep my family informed about what I’m going through over here. I don’t have a lot of free time so I don’t have time to write to everyone individually. I thought a blog once a week or so would be perfect. Well guess what? No one reads these stupid things!! My husband and my friend Heather are my two loyal readers, and Heather is deployed over here herself! My mom, my cousin and my friend Melissa will make an occasional appearance, but other than that NO ONE from my family even bothers to read them. So I ask you, WHAT’S THE POINT!!!!???

Hi sweetie. I would consider myself a loyal reader, though I don't comment on every blog!! :=) I'm sorry that you are dissapointed in your family members not reading your blog. I happen to think it is a fabulous blog and love your stories and pics! You are in my heart and on my mind all of the time. I'm sorry we haven't been able to skype yet and I was so sad that I missed your call the other day! Thank you for trying!! :-) Your blog is listed in My Favorites menu and I check it every few days to see if you have updated. I commend you for maintaining this blog with your awfully demanding work schedule!! And I also appreciate it! I love being updated on what's goin on in your day to day life. If anything Ren, you will have a record of this year through this blog forever so you can look back on what your life was like and what you were going through during this time. I'm sorry you're feeling so hurt and frustrated by lack of readership. Maybe you should reach out to those who are not reading this and let them know that you are doing this for them and that it would be nice if they read it (I know you probably already have done that, but sometimes people need reminding of where to find your blog, etc). I'm reminded of how old I am when I jump on a computer with someone even just two years younger than me - their knowledge and comfort online far outsrtips mine, so if there are family members who are older, this new-fangled blog thing may sound intimidating, LOL. I dunno..I'm probably way off as usual. I owe you an apology for being so selfish as well. It seems like I have taken 10 steps back since September and I can't break out of my depression. I'm at 148 pounds now - no muscle, so fitting into my clothes is a huge challenge. I just started seeing a counselor 2 weeks ago so we are still in the family history stage which is annoying and difficult as it digs up all of the ghosts of the past. Sometimes I wonder the same about my life that you do about this blog - WHAT IS THE POINT!!!??? I'm glad that you have such a wonderful husband in your life that is so supportive and there for you. You are truly blessed and I know it has got to be SO HARD being away from them. You will be home before you know it hun. I just wanted you to know that I love you and I hope I can speak to you soon. Though we are not related by blood, I do consider you my family. Take care Ren-Ren...miss you.
I feel the same way.. Notice my last entry date... It's annoying.. Makes you feel like people in your family don't care.. :/
