As the time draws near
I find myself dreading the day he has to leave more and more as it fast approaches!
I have such deep admiration for what my husband does. I could never do what he does or deals with everyday. Especially since I would be terrified and would cry every time someone would yell at me.
There is nothing scarier than saying goodbye to your husband the day he leaves. Whether it is for one month, six months or a year or more. I can't explain it to you. Can not put into words how absolutely, positively, physically, emotionally, and mentally painful it is.
There is also nothing better than holding him in your arms the day he arrives home! It is pure bliss!
Some ask if this life is hard? Absolutely! It is hard because we never know when he will be home, he never actually has a day off, he deals with so much on a daily basis, yet still makes his family number one! It is hard knowing that he will miss so much of his daughters lives. He will miss Clara's first word, when she first starts crawling, her first Christmas. Emily loves her daddy and I am sure there will be many days when I will hear her say "I miss my Daddy really so much" and I know that we will cry but that is ok!
I can't say that I am going to be strong the whole time. There are going to be many days that I will break down and just want him home. There will be many days where I just wish that his stinky PT clothes were in the laundry needing to be washed, or his boots where sitting in the living room floor needing to be picked up, or I get his texts asking what's for dinner. I love us! I love the family that we have become! I love that we get better as the days go by! I love that he can still make my heart melt by just hearing his voice on the phone and simply saying " I Love you". Even when we bicker or need a break from each other for a bit we treat each other with love and respect! As much as I hate when he is away it makes it that much sweeter when he is home!
I am not going to be one of the ones that constantly complain that my husband is gone! I knew that this day would come. I knew the potential of him deploying when he enlisted! This is the life we are living at the moment! The path that God has chosen for us! And for that reason I do not have the right to complain! Complaining about it would just mean that I don't trust that God has an ultimate plan for our lives! We have the knowledge that we are right where we are suppose to be in our lives and as hard as it is going to be, God will hold us in the palm of his hand and take us to the day we are reunited again as a family!

Crying before bed. Just what I needed.
Hmm. How did I miss this post before? I like it. That first vignetted, sepia-toned shot is timeless and looks like every photo ever made of service personnel shipping out. I love it. No, not that he is shipping out. I meant I love the photo.
