Goodbye for Now

Enrique left today. :( I'm never sad until he's actually gone and I realize how long it's going to be until I see him again. Military relationships are hard. They take two very strong individuals to make it work. To not see your spouse for 6 months to a year is extremely difficult. I miss him already, for myself and more for Kira. Luckily she is young enough that she doesn't get it, but someday she will, and that makes me sad. I'm happy to be my husbands number one fan. I'm very proud of him and wouldn't change this life for anything. Deployments are tough, but they make our marriage stronger. We learn to have patience, cherish the time we have together and conversations we get to have. We learn to take it day by day and not to sweat the small stuff. I pray for his safety, I pray for the time to go by quickly for both of us, and I thank God for giving me such a strong husband. God bless America. :)
