As I drive you to the pier knowing you'll be gone for long you'll be leaving us today but it's your job it must be done with tears in our eyes we bid our goodbyes I asked you to be strong please don't cry As I walked away I didn't turn back as much as my heartache I knew you'd be back as we walked to the car I said kids please don't cry its only for awhile not a forever goodbye I said daddy will be back soon but not soon enough till then we have to be rugged we have to be tough you'll be gone for seven months and only days have passed I wonder if I'll make it how will I last the loneliness I feel the tears I have shed are just the beginning of a rough road ahead the days they are long and the nights they are lonely I have dreams about you when you were here to hold me these days will not last forever they will soon dwindle down you will first have to travel the whole world around just know that we miss you and please don't prolong hurry home darling back home where you belong *********************************************************
I did not even realized my thread had locked until I went into post a small update!
I have not heard from DH in over 2 weeks. I am not worried and am at peace. I know that God is dealing with him. The ship is also going through transition training--the sailors are going through classes on acclimating back to family life when they return from deployment. Must be hard for DH to go through these classes since he did not want to have a family when he left.
I will be going out this evening. A full night of dressing up--long gown, hair done, the whole bit. I will post pictures in the alternate. It is the last big party for the spouses before the ship returns. We are down under 3 weeks until homecoming. the kids are getting antsy, I am frantically attacking some projects that I want to get done. Mom and I will be sewing curtains this coming week.
I aced my mid term for Constitutional Law Theory!! I just need to write my paper this week. I want to work ahead for the stuff that will be due over the weekend that DH comes home. I want to ensure I do not have to many outside distractions. Family will provide enough of those!
Off to get my hair done.
Have a blessed day everyone!
