      When I started with the choir Clayton was on a ten-and-a-half-month tour. It was the longest he has ever been away. All I was allowed to know was that he was going ‘east of Suez’, which meant the sub was supporting the troops in Afghanistan. I try very hard to keep it together when he leaves, but knowing he was going away for over ten months was very difficult. The children were asleep, but they knew that when they woke up he would be gone. I tried to hold back my tears, but this was the hardest tour ever, and for once he saw me cry. I know I should be used to it, but you never do get used to it. It hurts just as much now as it ever has.
