He's coming home.

I keep reminding my self that he's coming home very soon...

When he first left, it seemed like 6 months would take forever. Sometimes, 6 months did take forever :( I would struggle with University with assignments and concentrating because I couldn't do it anymore. I struggled with going to work and trying to be happy every day he wasn't here. I would exclude my self from friends and attending social events because I couldn't do it. I struggled at home because sometimes family can get a bit suss about your mood changes. I had massive mood swings every now and then. I wouldn't be able to sleep at night without knowing if he's okay. There was no one I could talk to about it. I struggled so much without him :( 

But the whole game changed when he gave me some exciting news that he'll be coming home sooner than planned. I didn't feed my self with the news yet, in case I would be disappointed that he wouldn't be coming home early. But he's talked to me about it over email that its definite now he's coming home in December 2012, rather than Feb 2013!! Hoorah! 

One night, I was looking at other people's photos through Instagram about their partners deployments and how excited they are to see them come home safely. I saw a post from one, where they're not only excited they're coming home but the homecoming. Most exciting part, where you get to see them for the first time after so many months. The feeling you get when you haven't seen your partner for so long! Best part. The emotions in your body is overwhelmed. You want to cry, laugh, never stop smiling, and more crying. It's like you can't wait for their hugs and kisses. To see them face to face yet again. To see them smile back at you, without it being through Skype or talking to them and hearing their voice without reading it through emailing. 

I can't wait for my boy to be home for Christmas! 


Love,
