Life...

It leads you in funny directions sometimes. Last Wednesday, it lead me to the airport at 5 am. I never wanted to be awake at 5 am, let alone at the airport. Putting the love of my life, my beloved husband, on a plane was the hardest thing I have ever had to do. I can't imagine how I would feel if he was being deployed! As I watched him walk away, I panicked about whether we had made the right decision or not. It is hard to imagine nine months of not having him around! He is my rock. I rely on him so much! I don't know how to function without him. I had forgotten how to sleep without him. All I have to say is, I had better die first. LOL!
The last week has been surprisingly good. The first day, Liam had a hard time. I had to open every door just to show him daddy wasn't behind them or else he would pound on the door crying "Daddy!" That was about it though. He has been so good to me. The second night daddy was gone, I put him in bed with me and he slipped his tiny arm under my neck and hugged me until he fell asleep. When he can tell I am sad, he comes up and rubs my arm. He is a truly remarkable child. I am so incredibly blessed.
I have gotten to talk to Phil every night and that has been great. That will all change once he actually gets into his unit or whatever, but for now it's nice. It makes the transition easier.
Poor guy is sick. He got his flu shot yesterday and it made him so sick! He has a fever and a sore throat and everything. No fun! Other than that though, he seems to be okay... not too homesick!
Well I will keep you all posted as I know more about what he's doing! Good night!
