Loving You...

Last night I was watching one of my favorite (but very long) movies, Pearl Harbor. Yes, I know, with the main character switching love interests when she thinks her first love is dead in war, isn't the greatest thing, but I still love it.

There was one line that caught my attention, when she realizes her first love is alive, and they start talking. He says to her, "Loving you kept me alive."

Michael is the reason I have made it through this deployment. Without hearing his voice or his emails, I could have easily curled up in a ball and slept my way through this deployment (ok so maybe a glass of wine, or two, helped) Michael is the reason I got up every morning, tried to make the most of my day, and stayed positive.

I couldn't have done this with anyone else.
