Some of the many things I miss about my husband being home (in no particular order):
- Listening to him playing the guitar
- Him screaming at the TV screen as the NY Giants play football
- Having a bed buddy (the insomnia is killing me!)
- Watching him and Max wrestle
- Playing Screwy Louie after we put Max to bed
- Cuddling on the couch while we watch cowboy movies
- That moment when everyone is excited that Dad is home from work
- His muscles...I HATE taking the trash out
- Him "ba-duncing" his own jokes
- His hugs and kisses
- Seeing those darn Chuck Taylors laying around the house
- The smell of his deodorant (I know this is weird, but he isn't a big cologne wearer)
- Getting a back tickle before bed each night
- Cooking real dinners (as opposed to mac n cheese, nuggets, etc)
- Holding hands
- The security of having my husband home and knowing that he's safe
- Love notes being left randomly around the house
- Pizza night
- Going to bed and waking up next to my best friend
- Him being home for milestones (birthdays, holidays, family gatherings)
- Family time (watching movies, going on walks, eating dinner together)
- Frozen yogurt and date nights
- His scruffy face that he can only have on the weekends
- Being able to call or text him whenever I want
- The way he brushes my hair out of my face
- Seeing him and Max interact and watching what a great dad he is
This deployment has taught me so much about myself, but most importantly I have learned what a lucky woman I am. I am so greatful to have the husband that I have. He is the most caring man, he is selfless, and no mater the distance between us, he is still taking care of me and providing me with the emotional support that I need to get through each day. He tells me EVERYDAY how much he loves me, how beautiful I am, and what a great job that I am doing. It's the little things that we take for granted, and it's sad that sometimes it takes a life event such as this to realize those things.
