One Week

This has been a very emotional week for me. It's been one week since I've seen Craig, touched him, kissed him and have been able to just enjoy his presence. I keep thinking this has kind of been a fast week. Then I realize, it's only been a week!!! I feel like there are hundreds more to go! I don't even have a date to look forward to, just a time frame. Even if he gets leave I still am not for sure when that will be. I want this year to be over. I want to fast forward to the day he comes home. That's all I want. I try not to cry but I can't help it. I'm sad that he will be gone for so long and I miss him. Still it's only been a week. I feel like I should be ok by now, but it's only been a week! I'm glad I still get to talk to him. That helps alot. I went from not being able to see him, to talking for the next 6 weeks, then every once in awhile.I'm slowly getting through this just not as fast as I want. I love him so much! He has my whole heart. I miss him and want to this all to be over, but I'll try my best to be strong until he comes home.

Brittany- Thanks for stopping by my blog! I saw your picture and knew right away that you were Tristan's best friend!:)

I have been where you are right now. My husband was in the military and when he was gone it was so hard! The best thing to do is keep busy. Shopping is always good.;) Lori

I have been praying for your husband to get back soon, Sweetie.:)

I know the feeling...I've been there and I don't want to feel that again! The best thing I can say is just try to keep your head up and keep yourself busy...hang out with your friends and write lots of letters :) They will mean a lot later on! Eventually you will develop a "normal" routine and when he comes back it will be like a honeymoon all over again! LOL! Terence was in Iraq in 2005...and it was hard! Just know that I'm praying for you and if you ever want to email or talk just holler at me! <3 Becky
