So Full of Love

By the time this posts, he will be where he needs to be and we can really get this deployment started. For the last 5 weeks he has been stateside for training. While our deployment started back in the beginning of April, it really doesn't start until the entire unit gets where they need to be.

I'm scared, but I'm ready. I'm ready for him and I to get into another routine and to continue to make this not only work, but to be so fulfilling. Even though we may not be physically together, both of us continue to make an effort to make sure the other feels loved. When we are stressed or upset, instead of taking it out on each other, we rely on each other. It's comforting to know we are kicking this deployments ass.

He sent me a message just before take off and I keep looking at it. Being strong isn't just something you have to do. It's something you do because you want to be strong for them. You want them to have one less thing to worry about. You want them to know that while they are worried about their surroundings, they know you are standing strong and holding it down at home.

I love this man so much more then I even knew I could. He challenges my views on life and love and constantly amazes me. He gives me the strength to keep going, but he is definitely my weakness.

I'd wait forever for him, but a year is long enough.
