ors and Marines in this way has been a great experience.
The folks who provided this wonderful quality of life pro-
gram would love to hear from you. Please go online and fill out a
Homefront Participant’s survey for United Through Reading® on our
website, to provide your feedback: http://unitedthroughreading.org/
utr_homefrontsurvey.htm )

Chaplain’s Corner Saumaleato Fuimaono

Greetings CLB-5 Families,
A little boy once asked his
father who had just returned from sea,
“Dad, why is it I always had to put on
a sweater whenever mom felt cold?”
His dad answered, “Son, 1 know you
don't understand this, but it's because
she loves you!” The little boy might
have asked another question similar to
the first. “Dad, why did mom always
get mad at you every time 1 did some-
thing wrong?” And the answer is simi-
lar too. “Because she missed me son.”
Lord, a lot has been going on back
home while we've been gone. Help us to
say very tender, very loving words of
thanks to those important people who
love us and miss us. Bless us Father
and those we love. Chaplain Corp
Prayer Coll.
As we approach the final
stretch of the deployment, it impera-
tive to start thinking about the reunifi-
cation process. Everyone has changed
during this deployment by adapting to
new routines, priorities, schedules, etc.
Please be aware that relationships may
be awkward at first as you have not
seen each other for a long period of
time. It could take a few weeks or
longer to get readjusted to the differ-
ent changes that each of you have
adapted to. One of the more important
things to remember is to take things
slow and be mindful of one another. If
you cannot handle the changes in a civi-
lized manner for whatever reason, then
get help through one of the various
resources offered through myself or
the Family Service Center. Do not be
hard headed or think you are too big or
too great to get help because all of us
need assistance in one way or another.
Continue to guide each other even after partners instead of a loving relation-
returning home as you have done during
the deployment through visits, email,
and phone calls. The mind is a powerful
tool and if not utilized correctly can be
detrimental to your life and others you
love. Our minds can deceive us into
thinking that things appear to be a cer-
tain way, when they are not. Communi-
cate with your loved ones in a respect-
ful manner and be complimentary to one
another. Let your goal be to outdo each
other in
taking care
of one an-
other.
This will
help keep
the ro-
mance alive and intimacy alive in your
relationship. Sometimes it is hard to
have that mindset of love with all that
we endure throughout our normal day to
day activities, but we should be able to
count on being appreciated and honored
in our own relationships. As soon as you
start treating each other like business
ship, by getting into mundane routines,
the romance starts to fade. If romance
has faded it is never too late to get it
going again. Making mental notes on
special ways to treat your loved one
throughout the week is a good start. If
you need any help or guidance don’t
hesitate to ask for help. May God bless
your transition period!
