The End
Dear Blogger Babes,
For awhile I will be taking a Time Out from Blogging. I know it seems that I already have... Keith is coming home in a couple of days and I need time to rebond with him, time for us as a family to rebond.
Thank you for your support during Keith's deployment these past 7 months. I truly appreciate everything.
Dear Keith,
It does not seem real that in just a couple of days that you will finally be home. What a trying time it has been for both of us. Neither of us can fully appreciate what the other has had to go through. I do know that we are both as equally happy to have these past 7 months over with. Every day in some way it has been a struggle for me, whether it be stress, my patience being tested, emotional, or just every day life. I do know though that just because you are coming home it does not mean those days are ending... it will just be so nice though to have you here to talk to, to tell me it's okay, and to hold me and make me laugh the way you do.
Everyone in our family has been supportive and everyone tells me how strong I am... I feel weak, I feel older, and I feel tired. I feel like my patience is needle thin, I feel like I have lost allot of my humor in life. I feel stressed... I feel lonesome and at times crazy and angry. But I can tell you that I have never felt strong.
I just want you to know that if you bring one thing home with you after this deployment let it be the knowledge that you are loved and needed as both a husband and a father. You have place here in this world, with us. We both need you just as much as we need the air we breathe.
I hope that when you come home I can give you everything you missed. A wife, a friend, someone you can talk to about anything... a partner to share the good and the bad.
I can not wait for the simplest of things like hearing you talk to the TV and debate with a person on it... or me zoning out on a conversation you are having with me about video games. LOL
Now, let me remind you some of the things that I have been saying on a daily basis so that when you come back you can just jump right in and carry on with me...
1. "Fucking Dogs"
2. "Tucker, shut the fuck up"
3. " Bree, Get your fucking ass over here!"
4. "Levi, stop pulling your fucking hair out"
5. "Levi, it is 1 o'clock in the fucking morning, stop fucking mowing!"
6. "Emily, stop whining"
7. " Emily, sit on your hiney, do not stand on the couch"
8. " Emily, What did Mommy say"
9. " No touch Emily"
10. "I said No Emily"
11. * To Self - " I think my fucking brain is going to explode"
12. * To Self - " I think I am having a fucking heart attack"
13. * To Self - " Are you fucking kidding me?"
14. * To Self - "Fuckidy Fuck"
15. * To Self - " Please somebody shoot me NOW"
16. * To all the animals - " I just want you all to know that you are fucking lucky to be alive, most people would have killed you by now"
17. To Bree " You are going to fucking live with the Creature in the woods"
18. To God " Please dear GOD give me a break from the whining today"
19 To God " Why do you enjoy laughing at me?
20 To God " Hello, Mr. Knowing, do you not see I need some help here?
So, that is just a few that I say like 500 times a day... I am sure there are more. I am sure our neighbors think I have totally lost my mind as well as my sanity... Oh well.
Like I said, I have no clue what you went through... I am sure you have some interesting stories to tell me. I will catch you up as well... Should be interesting... you and I trying to talk over eachother LOL
I can't wait to see you come off that bus, for the first time. I know the emotions are going to overflow... and then the knowledge that it is over, finally. Emily and I are waiting, we love you. Be safe on your travels. We are proud of you Keith, of your Marines. Look for your Welcome Home Sign when you come here to the base along New River's fence. Not Lejeune.
Love ya...
PS, Emily has been saying Da-Da all day today, she must know you are coming home...
