I have two people in my life that fill my heart with such joy. My husband and my son. I am completely in love with them both. When my husband left, I finally realized how much I REALLY loved him. I also realized how involved he was in my every day life. The simple things, like taking out the trash- since we had been in the apartment, I had not taken the trash out once... Simply holding his hand during a movie- didn't even realize how much I liked that until he was gone... I realized I took his love and kindness for granted- and I will never do that again. I plan to shower him with love and kindness and affection, just like I always have- but multiply it by a billion. As for our son, I loved him when I was pregnant- but it wasnt until I saw my husband holding him for the first time, I wanted to cry and laugh and well my emotions were everywhere. When I became a wife- I learned a new love, and when I became a mom I learned yet another new love. what do I mean by this? Well, I love my parents, but the love I have for my husband and son are different.
I tell you what, my love for these two amazing men grows stronger everyday. Everyday my husband is gone, my love for him grows deeper, and every time I hold our son, my love gets deeper. Remember to tell those that you love, that you love them.
Di... you are such an amazing, strong and brave young woman. It's no wonder John loves you as much as he does. As I watched you hold your son, I saw first-hand how much you cherish that little guy. These two guys are so very blessed to know your love.

Di,
ReplyDeleteI'm an old friend of your MIL, John's former Cubmaster. I've known him since he was a baby! I'm privileged to be a follower of your wonderful blog! You are all in my thoughts and prayers every day! I'm so proud of both of you for serving our country! God bless you!

Airman Mom posted an open invitation to drop by for a visit, so here I am. I think I’ll lurk out for a while…if you don’t mind a dirty old Tin Can Sailor looking over your shoulder. I’ll be good, though. AM can fill you in on all the warnings, but you are safe. I have been following her for a few years and love her to death. And I have been sending prayers off for Jon and all the mil types over there, too. Thank you for your service, too. Y’all are my new heroes. If you put on the boots, no matter where you serve, you are my hero. And EMan is da MAN, too. Later!
ReplyDeleteLike Coffey Pot, the old sarge will be looking over your shoulder, offering experience, strength, and hope. We know separations are not fun.
