I am thankful for the 15 days we had with him home.

It was filled with so many things.

Sounds that had been nearly forgotten in their absence.

Scents that are such a comfort and are already slipping away again.

Days will filled with family and friends.

Video games where played.

Bonding time with the children was had.

Comic store runs where made.

Movies where seen.

Meals where eaten.

Life was full once more.



My words are all jumbled right now, a myriad of confused images that want to leap forth into text. I am sorting them currently.



The need to write is upon me and so that is what I will do. Some bits here and some bits there. I will put them together as I can and they make sense to me.



Seeing him appear out of the corridor from the plane made my heart soar and sing and skip beats. Watching him disappear back down another similar corridor has left me week inside.



His words the night before he had to leave, linger with me. His arm around me as he held me close to him, my head upon his chest listening to him breath. His words hit me like a blanket settling over me. "If ever I could stop time, it would be right here right now. So that we could stay like this for the rest of eternity." But time would not stop, as we knew it could not.



He has reminded me that though he had only 15 days home it is not what he was thinking about. What he was thinking about was that it meant he only had a few more months left of this deployment.



So with that said..



8 months down, 3 more months to go.



We have made it through the hard part and now we keep on moving forward. One day at a time, minute by minute.



His plane should be arriving back in Afghanistan any time now. I expect a phone call as soon as he can get to one and keep the phone with me at all times.



Time to rest.

The day dawned bright and filled with things to do.

The time advanced and things where done.

All to quickly, so it seems, the time had slipped through our fingers and is gone once again.

I look forward to future time where things can pause and stand still.

I look forward to a time with you home once more.

Time has come and it has gone.

And now it is time for rest.
