One month!!

It will be one month exactly on Tuesday that I said goodbye to my boy. I can't tell you how much I miss him. My feelings grow for him each day. I have learned to appreciate each individual email, phone call, and text. You never really know how much you take for granted until it's not at your leisure. I am a very independent girl and it has helped me a lot through all of this but I have also found new strength that I never knew I had. With each passing day I think about him. I don't think I have ever felt like this before. It's a nice change. After all this is over with there won't be anything we can't get through. A lot of people might think that it was bad timing meeting him right in the middle of all these deployments but I don't think the time could of been more perfect. This time apart makes us appreciate each other that much more. I'm beginning to believe we were made for each other. I know what he's going through right now isn't easy for either of us but things will be that much better when he's home for good. He's fighting for our freedom...my freedom and I don't think there's another job that is as important as his. I appreciate what he does for us and what he does for me. I love the boy...more than I thought I could in such a short amount of time. I can't wait to have him home with me. I just have to keep telling myself "one day less". It makes it a little easier that way. Although I may not see him right now he is my first and last thought in my days. I wouldn't trade him or our relationship for anything....even on the bad days.
