But yes it does end

And it ends WAY too fast! So he's gone again. Back to his work. Back to take care of his men. They all need him there as much as we need him here. I just wish he didn't have to be so far away. I miss him. I hate going so long without his hugs and kisses. I hate going so long without sitting down next to him to talk to him where i can touch his face. I hate going so long without feeling his hands in my hair. But the job he does brings others home to their families. He's already helped a really great friend come home to his family. So he needs to be there for the other guys too. He's good at what he does and he needs to do it. It's just a shame that he has to do it for so long. We do have an opportunity to bond over this time that others don't generally have. We truly get to cherish communication and say all the things that we didn't say before the military became part of our lives. We have become really close over these months. That is definitely the advantage of military life. We do learn how to communicate in ways that not everyone does. We cherish each other. We overlook the little things that typically would drive others crazy. Ok so we don't overlook everything.....we are not perfect. But we do learn lessons in overlooking the little things. We do learn that sitting next each other to watch a movie or talk about our day is more important than doing the dishes. So while i am sad that our R&R time is over....i do know that this time has been good for us. I do know that we are on the downhill slide of this deployment. I do know that before this year is done....i will have him home with me again!
