Today is it, the last day before he goes back. It has been a good but busy day. We had a lot left to do and we were determined to do it all together. We took the kids to Chuck E Cheeses for lunch. After lunch, we had a lot of shopping to do both for him and the kids. We got all that done, then Ian had to get his hair cut before he went back. After that we did one last grocery shopping trip to get everything for dinner tonight. I told Ian I would make whatever he wanted, and he chose my meatloaf. It turned out really good, and we enjoyed the meal together.
I couldn't help it... All I could think about all day was that Ian is leaving tomorrow, and I still have way too long to do without him. I tried to not focus on it so I could enjoy our last night together, but it wasn't easy. At the end of the night, we just laid in bed, holding each other, crying. All we could do was say "I love you" and "I am really going miss you" to each other. It was hard, but we both knew we would be okay and we would make it through this together and stronger than ever. He knows now that I can do this and I can make it until he comes home again. I know that I am still a part of his life, even while he is over there, and that we will talk about everything we can. Our marriage is strong enough to withstand this separation, and will only get stronger from it.
