I Miss Your Face
Two nights ago I got to see my husbands face. It was the first time in over a month the bandwidth out there actually worked long enough for both of our webcams to broadcast, and it was beyond great.
Then, a little while later we got to use the sound feature from Gmail and actually talk (Skype hates us out there apparently, but Gmail works on occasion). So not only did I get to see his face, but we got to talk! Like have an actual conversation about the weather (hot), and our dog (we both miss her), and our future (we’re freaking excited to “be married” again), and other random things. We even got to say good night to each other!
The instant I saw his face it was seriously like love at first sight and butterflies all over again. His smile, the curves of his face, I want need that man in my life and I can’t wait for him to get back. I know this may be overly sappy, but I figure when you haven’t seen your husband in awhile, it’s completely allowedāthat, and I don’t really give a damn what other people think about what I’m about to say:
Deployments suck. A lot. A lot, a lot. But they can bring out a longing, an ache, and even a love you’ve never felt before. I honestly want him and want to be with him more right now than the day we got married. That’s not to say I didn’t want him then, but when you’re separatedānot by choiceāit just makes you realize exactly what you want in your life.
And I want his face in my life. I want his face in my life every single day. (Can you tell we’re in the homestretch? Because we are, and I can’t decide if I want to laugh or cry, so I sometimes do a little of both.)
You are doing so great! I'm happy for you two that you actually got to see & hear each other. It could because I'm overly sappy but I got all teary for you. I can only imagine how I'll actually react when it's me in your shoes.
woo-hoo! that's awesome that you got to see his face and hear his voice! made me smile big time, because i know i would have such similar emotions as you, if it were me! and no, i don't think you're being sappy at all – you're being a wife who misses her hubby – i can definitely relate!
Oh I am SO happy you got to talk to him and see him!
Aw, I'm glad you were able to see each other!
Oh you are SO allowed to be sappy! This is the sweetest post. So glad you got to see his face and here his voice. Woot!
aww so glad you were able to see each other and talk to each other =)
