My love went on his deployment in June, but I haven't seen him since May of this year. This deployment has been rough, but we've made it through waiting for the greatest time, his homecoming. And it is happening!
It's getting closer and I cannot be more ecstatic! Soon he will be right there with me in person! I will actually be able to hug him, kiss him, cuddle with him, and just be there with him. There won't be calls at odd hours or scheduled skype calls. All I have to do is just turn and he'll be right there.
It makes everything during the deployment worth it, because the love of my life is coming home. Now. of course it's not going to be all easy breezy. There will be time to readjust, and we have a lot of stuff to do, but I am going to enjoy it!
We'll be able to really plan our lives together, and he won't have a passing role or anything like that. He'll actively be there choosing what he wants and disagreeing with what I want. He'll be there to compromise and to win some and lose some arguments. He'll be there at the end of the aisle when I walk down toward him, and he'll be there to choose the paint for our walls. We'll finally be able to celebrate the holidays and birthdays together! He'll be there for all of it... how can I not be excited?!
I am just excited for our future and knowing that because we survived this deployment we can survive other difficulties that life loves to throw at us. I am excited to face those difficulties with him. So go ahead life bring whatever else you want to throw at me because I am going to be alright... my Marine is coming home!
