So, you're leaving... Goodbye...

This made me cry too and i was happy. *sniff*.

right after the birth of our first son my husband had to go to NY to work for 7 weeks. It was so hard for me and our phone bills were huge. i hid pictures and notes in his pockets for him to find too.
best of everything to you both.
 
He slept with me last night

Last night i was at work, having notably THE worst night of my life. and i turn around and guess who is standing there...

MY DANNY!!!

after i pick my jaw off the floor he smiles and gives me a huge hug which melts me instantly and makes all my problems dissolve. it turns out that this is the only day he could come back.... so that he could be at his karate tournament the next day. i didnt get out until 3 a.m., but when i got home, i cant even tell you how AWESOME it felt to see him asleep in my bed. It was like he belonged there. I couldn't help it... i knew he had to get up in 3 hours but i covered him in hugs and kisses, snuggled up next to him, and fell asleep the way i always do,.... wrapped around him with my head on his chest. in his sleep... he smiled. this morning i woke up when i felt him get out of bed, and i tried SO HARD to wake myself up so i could go see his karate tournament, but i worked so many long, late hours last night that it was impossible, i would have crashed my car driving way out there. after he got dressed (and gave me back the t-shirt of his that i had been sleeping with in his absence), he laid back down next to me and held me for awhile, and it was the BEST thing ever. it was so hard to let him go again, b/c that was my free-bee.. he wont be back again until the end of this whole thing. and who knows when that will be. but for a few hours, my life was perfect again. and it was a reminder how lucky i am to have him, and how lost i would be without him.
 
The short, unexpected times that give you so much happiness - those can be sweeter than a month's worth of good luck. :)
 
This is so poignant - very well written.. and unfortunately I can relate. I'm at the beginning of a situation similar to this, where my amazing boy is planning to go overseas next year.. have been avoiding thinking of the impact it will have on me, how I'll handle it, and have been focusing on all the positives for him.. Thankyou for sharing this
 
Day 8

Maybe when you get back, I'll let you read this post.

Well, today is day 8 of you being gone. It says so on my dry-erase board right under "Days Danny has been gone" :( This is right next to my list of things to pack for the beach. I'm so excited. I wish you could go with me. I really think we need to go away for a few days when you get back. We both work so much... it might be good for us to spend some time together that is not in uniform and politely professional.

I just wanted to tell you something that i should have told you before you left.... I hope its not too late.

I'm proud of you. And i'm really, really happy for you.

p.s. I love you.
 
leaving tomorrow

Day 9

Well, i'm leaving tomorrow for Florida. I'm really really scared to fly, so i hope i come back to you safe and sound. I was really hoping i'd get to talk to you before i left, but i missed your call earlier today because i was at work, and i have to go back in an hour and work all night... so i probably *wont* get to talk to you before i leave.. *sigh*

so i just want to say so-long, and hopefully nothing bad will happen.

8( 8) :\

i'll be in Florida tomorrow YAY! %) :o
 
Day 22.

I erased the 21 today and replaced it with a 22, for how many days he's been gone. And that's when i noticed it...

At the bottom of the dry-erase board, written in his handwriting "I wuz here but you wuzn't." And when did he write this?

Probably on Saturday. While i was 3 states away.

I know when Tony would call while he was away, and I would be out with my friends or just doing something other than nothing...and I would get home and the ID would show and the message would just say "Hope u are ok, Love u" I hated it-that I missed that call. I would get so mad at myself and wait up all night thinkin he would call back but didn't. The next day I wouldn't want to even walk out to my car....Just in case....i hated that part of the distance.....

Sorry chicky.....I know where U are coming from. But know missing him that saterday was for a reason....good or bad....for a reason.

Keep ur head up!!

He's home, finally.

Danny came home last night.

My life feels like it is back to the way it used to be. The whole time he was gone i tried to pretend like i never had him in the first place. It was the only way to not miss him so badly. But now that he's back, its like everything is the way its supposed to be. I got to sleep next to him last night, snuggled into his arms, and it was the best feeling in the world. I didnt realize how much i really missed him until the moment i walked into his door and saw him sitting on his couch.

I know that with his coming back, a lot of other feelings are going to come back too... the wishing he would hold me in bed for 5 minutes longer, or wish we could go out and do things more often instead of working all the time... or the wishing that we could take that vacation that we cant afford right now.... but everytime i think those things, i am going to force myself to remember how lucky i am that he's at least here... and not in NJ... and i'll be thankful.
