This week has been a crazy week for me. Insanely busy and mostly frustrating. It has been over a week since my husband has had internet connection and been able to Skype. So it has been over a week since I have actually seen his face. I have to admit that I have truly missed seeing him even if it is via webcam. Seeing him over the computer is no substitute for him being here but it has been something that has kept me going throughout this deployment. I look forward to the days when I get to see him via Skype and our conversations are always the highlight of my day.
I am grateful for the ability to see him when I can because the past week without seeing his face and only talking to him for 5 minutes at a time was pretty rough. It might have been part of the reason this week seemed so difficult for me, but at least I made it through. Tonight Ian and I got to chat on Skype for about 30 minutes. Well, I should say that Ian, the kids, and I got to chat. So, in reality, I got maybe 10 minutes of face time with my husband, but again, something is better than nothing... especially after over a week of not seeing him. It was a good conversation and really funny watching the kids entertain Ian with their usual antics. Such a great evening to a not so great day.
All I know is that I am getting closer to seeing my husband. Every day I am just that much closer to seeing him and I am making it through this.... One step at a time.
