I hate good-byes. They suck. There is no other word to describe them, sorry. Saying good-bye to Michael in the airport was awful. Before he walked to security, a man saw him and wished him good luck. I am so grateful for those random strangers who recognize what Michael is doing for them...there is no other way to thank them, gift cards and packages are nice, but a simply thank you or wishing someone luck is amazing, especially when it's from a total stranger.
I hate prolonging sad moments, thankfully so does my husband. We were a little early, and his flight was delayed, but I think if I sat there for another hour I would have completely lost it. Even though saying good-bye was difficult, actually walking and then driving away was worse. I don't know how to explain it, but somehow, since his flight hadn't taken off yet, I felt as though I were leaving him, instead of the other way around. The next month will be hard, and then I will fall back into my routine. Once he gets to Iraq it will be interesting to see how we can work out the time difference - they are 8 hours ahead. I hate being apart, but at least at the end of every day without him there is a silver lining - we are one day closer to being finished with this deployment.

I love you! I'm sorry I didn't call you back last night, but everyone was fine from the tornadoes, it hit on the other side of town from my parents.
That's a good way of looking at things Kelly. Just try to stay positive and give us a call whenever. On another note at least you're not as dumb as McNabb...I mean what pro quarterback and doesn't know that NFL games can end in a tie? I think it's time for the Eagles to look to the future...send McNabb packing and let Andy Reid attend to his meth addict sons. Oh, and keep blogging away because it give me something to do at work.
I love you Kelly! Just think that each day he is gone is one day closer to getting him back. I echo what gabe said, well not the part about having something to do at work, but you you can call whenever.
