I keep telling myself it's only been two weeks.
I keep telling myself it doesn't make sense to miss someone this much after what is really a very short amount of time.
But when that someone is the person you share every bit of your life with--the big things, the little things, and all the in-between things--I guess it makes a little more sense.
Right?
I think you are very justified in missing Daniel. Tim and I have never even spent a night apart since we have been married, and I start missing him if he is working late. I suppose this is a bit overboard, but it does feel like a part of me is missing when he isn't around. I can't imagine the sacrifice many women have to make when their husbands have to be away. It must require a fortitude I think I am probably lacking.
ReplyDeleteYou're doing much better than I did with just four days of being away from R.Jay. It sounds silly, but you're absolutely right... when it is someone who is your best friend and shares every small and big moment... it's pretty hard not to ache for that person to be around. I think you're doing really great though.
ReplyDeleteI didn't realize Gabriel's birthday was so close to my due date. In all honesty, I think my due date is more around Feb. 28th... doctor's and their "pregnancy wheel".
I was thinking about coming by tomorrow, Thursday. Still free? What time is good?
If half your body walked away for two weeks, you wouldn't think it'd be missing it too much, would you? It's kind of like that.
ReplyDeleteI'll pray for you. Please continue to pray for my friend. She doesn't know when her husband will be coming home. It probably won't be in the next few weeks, but she's hoping. Not with her fingers crossed, but with her eyes closed and hands folded. Please, please pray. You know I am certainly not trying to make light of your missing Daniel. I know you miss him with your whole heart, this being the very reason I know God will honor your prayers for her...
ReplyDeleteSometimes I think I must be the only woman in the world who is so attached to her husband. I tell myself that "normal" people are perfectly capable of spending time away from them and that it can't be normal for me to struggle so much at the very thought of having him away at any time... I know what you mean, I don't like being away from Ben for a day let alone for longer! I'll be praying for you... it's almost over, though! =0)
ReplyDeleteI'll see you sometime this morning then. Hopefully I won't add to the chaos;)
ReplyDeleteWell, I think that you are not only justified, but right to miss him.
ReplyDeleteLet me know when you need more visitors or to make a visit! Our doors are ALWAYS open.
Oh I really wish I could, I'm working an overnight camp for 2 weeks 7th and 8th grade girls, and I'm incharge of a group of28 all day, from morning until lights out. I should be done on the 22nd, so hopefully I can see you then! Take care!
