The End

Yes yes yes! I can honestly tell you all this deployment business does come to an end! Ours ended a couple days ago. My husband came home! It has been great to have him home. To be able to hold him when i want, to feel his face, to smell him, to just see him sitting on the couch. I can see him just kicking back hanging with his friends, playing video games, grilling for the masses, having a good time. It's fantastic! We typically fall right back into our normal routine after he's been gone. Which is great that we can do that. There are minimal problems adjusting. That's a wonderful thing! There are a few things i have a problem with however. I often worry that i will do something to startle him in his sleep. Or i will say the wrong thing and it will set off his temper or something because i don't quite know how he is just yet with everything. Not that he has a bad temper but he's just coming back from a war zone so it could be on a short fuse right now. i dont know. I worry that he won't talk to me. And so far he isn't. He's talking to his buddies though. I guess they understand and i don't. And that's cool. As long as he is talking to someone. He's not shutting me out of his life or anything. But we will have to stop ignoring the elephant in the corner and eventually talk about it. And we will. Right now we are just giving it time. It's only been a couple days. And he's not showing any signs of problems, he's just still adjusting to life at home. That's to be expected. The good news is he is here! And that is all that matters. Deployment does end and it is spectacular!
