but it hasn't gotten easier. day after day, it's harder. the longing grows stronger, the needing gets needier, the missing turns endless, alone feels lonely, and tears fall more often, more frequently. it's heavy here at home. it's that feeling that you're living day in and day out, but you're not alive. you're not whole.
i.am.not.whole.without.him.
he is my heart, my better half, my soul's mate, my best friend, my truest confidant.
he.is.my.home.
and i'm incomplete without him.
we had no idea what this time apart would look like. but the good Lord has blessed us with a love that knows no bounds. a love so deep it aches. a bond that time and distance can't touch (take that, navy!). it's the truest truth we've ever known.
it's hard, it hurts, to be separated. but i've never felt closer, loved deeper, or been more thankful in my days on this earth, than i am now. and that's a fact.
someday soon, we find out where the navy will send him for C school: camp lejeune in north carolina or camp pendleton here by home. we have this gut feeling that he'll be going to camp lejeune. i know God will send him where He needs him. but i pray, and i hope, and i pray some more that God sees how much we need him here at home.
please Lord, send him home. send him home to me & henry.
