So I've had a revelation tonight...
Sitting on the couch watching Jerry McGuire.
I miss the small things.
I've felt pretty sad lately just sad that I miss my husband as much that I do.
Sad that I have to miss him I guess in a more selfish way.
I realize I miss the small things.
I miss things that sadly I took for granted when he was here.
That Brinn has the most amazing Dad in the whole world. A Dad that misses her so much it makes him sick. A Dad that would give up not one motorcycle but two to marry her mommy and spend the rest of his life with her. A Dad that loves her unconditionally everyday. A Dad that would sacrifice his life for us, and our freedom. A Dad that goes to sleep lonely every night without his wife and daughter to kiss him goodnight. A Dad that gets through each day, knowing it's one day closer.
The small things...are so small we don't even realize them when they are there.
Waking up to the one I love...
Smelly Breath
Scaly feet
Stinky Farts
You get the picture it's pretty amazing!
I don't know why but I just LOVE hearing Jono pull his car in and the garage door open and he is home for the night. I really never took that for granted my heart would get really excited when he was home. He always loved my dinners too. He always thanked me for dinner. I miss actually eating with someone. As much as I love my little Brinn Brinn dinners they are full of jabbers and da das. We've actually resorted to watching the news because I hate the silence.
I seriously have forgotten what it is life for him to be in this house. I can't wait for him to be home. It will feel so good for two weeks to actually have our family back. For neighbors to see him out and about, and to go on walks. To drive in our car. To go to dinner. We go to Palmers on fridays and it was sweet tonight an old man came up to me and said "You have a beautiful family. That is one lucky man. Is he in the service?" I said Yes... "So is my son, tell him Thank you." Same to you sir.
Well enough of my heart for tonight. Just waiting on that man to get his bottom home. Love you all
We need more people like that man at Palmer's in this world. How awesome is that!
