missing him

Today has been a particularly hard day. There's really no reason, it happens from time to time. I try to be positive, and happy, and am around the kids, but sometimes, it is harder than usual. Today i just thought a lot about how wonderful my husband is, how proud I am of him, and how much I took him for granted before he left. The one good thing that has come of all this is that I have an incredible new insight as to what a wonderful guy I married, and to how extremely lucky I am. Today, there are only 96 days left until he comes home on leave! I am sooooo excited. Already I've endured 143 days without him, and so 96 more doesn't seem so bad. By the time he comes home on leave, our family will have been without it's backbone for 239 days. Tonight I am just missing him terribly.
