The thing is no matter how you phrase it, we say a lot of goodbyes in service to country and words do little to patch the hole left by every removed friend and loved one. Since we left Tijuana last October, we've been saying a lot of goodbyes, see you laters, and until we meet agains. Emotionally, I'm just about spent. And I'm out of words.
Today, after a year of preparation and three months of farewells, Chris boarded a plane on the first leg of his three day journey that will take him to Kabul, Afghanistan for the year.
See you later my love, my heart, my best friend.
My heart aches for you guys. Sending you lots of love.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great picture. You guys are such a great couple. I hope the next year goes by quickly, and with very little drama.
ReplyDeleteThat is an awesome picture. Tearing up for you and all the see you laters you are going through. Hoping the time flies to the R&Rs and then slows down while you get to reunite. Hang in there.
