sometimes



sometimes, i just miss him.
and undoubtedly when he comes back,  u get into the everyday grind and let petty things get in the way of truly being grateful and honored to have found the love of your life. 
                                of course, he's a guy, and he's so not perfect,
i mean, I am,...he just lucked out that way. *hairflip*  ;)
                                                                           BUT
                                 missing him does put things in perspective.

to let the little things go, to be of like-mind about our home, family and future. 
to remember why we fell in love. 
to realize our love is deeper now, 10 yrs later.  
to miss him is to turn emails, chat messages, and "video dates" into love letters. 
to miss him is to miss laughter, cuz NO ONE makes you laugh as hard as he does.
to miss him is a chance to remember and to realize that no one could be him
to miss him is to know he is the reason your heart beats. 
to miss him is to realize that the little stuff doesn't matter...and it's ALL little stuff. 
to miss him is always an eye-opener that you never want to live without him.
to miss him is to turn every song you hear, every wedding you see, every love story you watch into "us".
to miss him, is to love him.


so just try for today, whether it's talking about it, or writing you feelings, let your love know WHY you love them. It softens you heart instantly as you list all the reasons for loving that individual, and it softens them as well, hearing how much and why you love them. It creates instant, warm, tangible love between the both of you and melts away all the little unnecessary tidbits that can build up and block the way for truly loving one another.  It's not always easy to do this, but please do. our heart has so much more room than we give it credit, and it can swell with so much LOVE when we let it.

be grateful.
be humble.
be sweet.
be loving.

miss you, Bewtcut.

I've been having a hard time this weekend, for some reason, while Adam has been gone, working. For a weekend. Gah, I need to get over myself. Thanks for putting things into perspective.

thanks for this post. although my hubby is not deployed we have been seperated (by states) for almost 4 months now awaiting our house to close in MI. I have gotten so caught up in everyday life, I think we both have that our chats are not even "love notes" anymore. thanks for helping me to remember I've gotta try harder (even if he doesn't :) lol)

Bless your cotton socks, you have melted my cold old heart just a smidge. I wish I had just a little of what you have. It's rare and wonderful. You deserve it. You rock.

I love how you did a hair flip on your blog! Epic! I agree with this post completely, I think we forget how blessed we are when we have the people with us, and then when they are gone and we can't see them until x number of days...we just think about how much we love them and want them back. I swear, Ben get more love when he's gone than when he's around, how horrible is that!

I found your blog through the military Monday blog hop and just LOVE it! I'm also loving this post! It's so true, but why is it so hard to remember that stuff when they're home and they leave their dirty uniforms all over the floor?!? =)

Awee :) This definitely made me cry. My husband is deployed...we're about to be in the homestretch and I'm emotional!

I'm a lucky girl. My husband and I always make sure to be a little mushy-gooshy each time we talk. We always tell each other how much we miss each other. There have been a few times he's called to me in tears on a hard day. The only thing that I am thankful for, with deployments/separations, is how much it makes me realize how in love with him I really am :)
