This is going to be a short blog. Its Drill weekend…so while I am trying to stay busy with school and work. I never stop missing my husband. I hate not being able to talk to him everyday… but at least I know that he is safe and will return home to my arms in a week. While he is gone I think a lot about how my life would be without him…and easily put; I can’t truly imagine not being Andy’s wife.
I don’t pretend to be a saint… but I have learned that moments come and leave to fast in this world to let them pass you by. I have been reading MMT- a site that is all about inspiring acts of courage and sacrifice as well as moments of regret. I read one the other day that said, “Today I didn’t wake up to kiss her goodbye before she left for work for the last time.” Now I am sure that this man did not realize that he would never kiss his wife again. But I am sure that he will regret that morning for the rest of his life.
I believe this not just because I am a military wife. Yes when my husband is in a combat zone the risk of loosing him increases... but honestly anyone’s life can end at any time. You could get in a car accident; have a heart attack running down the street…any and every instant can matter. “Your time can occur at any time”. That is why I try to wake up every morning to walk my husband to the door. Because no matter how tired I am, no amount of sleep is worth loosing him. I make a point to say I love you as much as I can. I used to think that when you overuse that phrase it somewhat looses its meaning, but the truth is if you mean it every time you say it… then it will never become insignificant.
I love you babe. I promise.
