Oh, my Love, I wish you were here. Sigh.
I miss you. That’s all. My heart is aching and I miss you. I feel like there is nothing else to say today, except to state the obvious. We are at that slow stage of deployment, where time stands still and it seems like it will never end. But our little countdown calendar is telling me otherwise and I get flutters in my stomach just thinking about it. Almost done.
I know Big J is feeling it too. He is so cute. He will be sitting on the sofa or playing with his toys and will randomly look at me and say, “I miss Daddy.” Then he goes about what he was doing before. I think what he really wants to say is, “Ummm, lady, you told me it wouldn’t be much longer until my best bud got back and you lied. Thanks.” He is impatiently waiting for you return as well.
Thankfully, he had a great distraction today, and I was ever so thankful! On this day, your little man picked a Valentine. And a WONDERFUL Valentine he picked! We had fun making yummy treats and picking out a little gift for her. He was so excited and proud. He asked for her relentlessly, until the second we pulled up to the door.
Seriously, I love her. I love her because she puts him in his place and is still cute and sweet about it. She is spunky, funny, and as GORGEOUS a little girl as I have ever seen. What a hilarious match they make! I hope it works out too, because I already love E’s parents and I know they love the Lord. Can’t get much better…though I think it is still a bit too soon to plan the wedding haha! Now worries though, because her mom and I have an elaborate photo play date planned!
I love watching them. I love the innocence of everything they do. On our way home from visiting with them, he informed me that he loved her and wanted to bring her home. It is sweet to see little people with their friends. Their love and loyalty is so heartfelt and carefree. They don’t have to think about it. They just do it. Ahh. Love the way it should be.
Their sweet, little friendship made me think of you. I am so thankful we had that kind of friendship before we started out. I think that is why we work so well. We are the best of friends. I love you to pieces, Bryan. Thank you for loving me so unconditionally, even though I am not always easy to love. You are a fantastic husband and I am blessed to have you. And though the miles are separating us right now, I still feel you here with me all the time. You are a gift that is irreplaceable and I do not take that for granted.
Enjoy the photos of your little man! More Little J photos to come, since teething made him cranky today.
Looking forward to seeing you soon, my Love. Happy Valentine’s Day, Baby.
All of My Love,
Jessica
