i sat within arms reach of two families that had lost their soldier. for an hour i was unable to avoid imagining what it would feel like to be one row closer to the front.
today also happened to be the day we were purchasing the chassis for the Firebird via Ebay. because of this, my other half was still awake and online (in case i couldn't get home in time to bid on the chassis). to my relief (i was worried i'd screw up something) we were able to make the purchase together. i even called the seller and put him on speaker phone and chad could ask him questions-the guy thought it was really crazy that the other voice he was hearing was from afghanistan :) technology is astounding.
i went to bed tonight with a happy and hopeful heart. happy with every moment i've had with my husband so far in our life, and hopeful that we'll have the rest of our lives to continue making more moments.
here's to my husband, who is sacrificing so much to do what he does. it doesn't go unnoticed, i love you, i'm proud of you, and i'm thankful for everything you've given me. i tell you all now-go hug your significant other. i'm not trying to sound morbid, just be appreciative of what you have :)
This post made me cry!
