Tomorrow morning, early, (o'dark thirty) my husband will land in the United States. He will get off the plane, turn in his weapon and start the demobilization process. Because he is not normally full time active duty, he is in the National Guard, when I get to see him he will not be able to come home with me. Instead, he will demob for 5 or 6 days, and then he will be dismissed after his homecoming ceremony.
I will get to see him for a few hours tomorrow afternoon when they give him a break. Those few hours are going to be amazing. I cannot wait to see him and hug him again, finally. I have needed a hug from him in the worst way for the last few weeks, and tomorrow I will get to breath a sigh of relief.
I am hoping that when I see him I don't break down like I did when they told me he was on his way. It is just a relief to know that he is out of harm's way and that I don't have to wake up and check my phone to see if I missed a call or email. Let's hope I can keep it together.
I know leaving him will be sad, but it will be just four short days before I can bring him home after the ceremony. Let's just get through tomorrow....
