Today at work, I got a phone call from a florist wanting directions to my house. He had a delivery for me and couldn't find it. I still had over 30 minutes left at work so he said he would deliver mine last. So, when I came home the florist was here and dropped off some beautiful red roses. They were gorgeous and I really loved them. It was the day before Valentine's Day, but my husband wanted to be sure that I got the flowers on time, rather than late as in past years. I was so surprised when I got them and wished I could call him right then to tell him thank you, but I couldn't.
That is probably in the top 3 of the hardest things about deployment: You can't just pick up the phone and call him when you want to tell him something. There have been so many times that I just wanted to call him and tell him hi or thank you or tell him about my hard day or tell him "I love you" and hear him tell me he loves me too, but I couldn't. I had to wait for him to call and hold it in until then. It is part of the reason I keep all of his voicemails on my phone, so even when I can't tell him what I want to, I can still hear him talk to me and tell me he loves me. So tonight I have been waiting for his call and have not gotten it yet. I am so anxious to tell him thank you for the roses and to tell him how much I love them and how much I love him.
Tomorrow will be rough without him, but I will get through it too, much like I have everything else. It will be another Tuesday to make it through and I know I can do that.
To my love: I know you won't read this in time, but I wanted to tell you thank you for the beautiful flowers. It really touched my heart that you took the time over there to order the flowers for me. I miss you and I love you so much. You are the love of my life and I am proud to be your wife. Stay safe and hurry home to me.
