Today I am missing you.
This is nothing new, but today I want you here with me more than ever.
As I pack up our house, cook, and take care of Carter it all hit me.. I'm doing this alone.
Normally I would have you here to mow the grass, reach the top shelf, or lift the heavy stuff.
But I don't. And I won't for the next 4 1/2 months.
Sometimes I feel like a single mom. I know that I'm not. I have a great husband, he is just oceans away right now.
I so look forward to the days of us being a family again. I miss seeing you hold Carter, and the love I see in your eyes as you look at your son.
I know that this will all be over soon enough and we will be a family again. So I just have to look forward to that.
I love you, I miss you, and I'll be here waiting.
your comments to your deployed love are so touching. I was in your shoes not so long ago--in fact when mine was coming home your was leaving. I have been in your shoes many a times when my hubby was in the military. Then he got out, took a civilian job-but guess what--this civilian job expected him to deploy also!!! grrr-I have 2 boys--ages 9 and 7 and have been doing this since the oldest was 6 months old. I want you to know that you have a huge support system in all of your readers. While most cannot believe how you do it there are those of us who know you can! Each day is a baby step--I found myself BALLING my eyes out over hallmark commercials, lifetime movies, baby story shows and Army wives. Lets not even go there with all those "Coming Home shows." All I can say is make yourself a list of things you want to accomplish on top of normal daily life. This will help you on those especially hard days to take your mind off of the one you miss the most. I send you all the strength in thw world! Lots of Love Amy
ReplyDeleteAwe! I know how you feel sweetie! :( My husband has been a Marine for 13 years. It's hard sometimes. Stay busy! XX
ReplyDeleteSaw your photo on the Weigland's linky:) It's really so beautiful. Eep. You are beautiful, lady!! Congrats on your new son...(love the shoe post...that's a very cool storage solution! cute, too:)...
ReplyDeleteI married a marine almost 10 years ago, but he finished his time in before he ever got deployed...anyhow, I wish you the best. Honestly, you girls are so strong-- I couldn't have stayed a military wife. You're a hero in your own right.
kisses.
Thank you so much for the words of encouragement, it means more than you'll ever know! I know that with the support of family and friends I can do this. Only 4 more months to go, I can't wait to have my family back together! I miss our time together. I know one thing is for sure, when he gets home I will cherish EVERY SINGLE SECOND that we spend together as a family.
ReplyDeleteaw ... thanks to you and your hubby for your service to this country ... so touching.
ReplyDeleteawww darling my heart goes out to you! <3 hope time flies super fast and you blink and have your man home =)
ReplyDeleteI'm about to embark on my first ever deployment and the longest time my marine and I will ever have been apart.. Its crazy to think this is the "routine" of a military wife. Stay strong! =)
so glad I found your blog!
xoxo
