I am going on three weeks without Scott. He is in Portland, OR doing a job and I miss him terribly. I am glad he has work, but his absence makes me realize just how much I rely on him for support. Whether it is for his brut strength that gets jobs done around the house, or his quick witt that makes me laugh until I cry; he is my other half. Thank goodness for phones that keep our lines of communication open. At least I can hear his voice and tell him I love him.
This situation gives me a much greater appreciation for the men and women who serve in our armed forces and are gone from the comforts of home to provide not only for their families, but for ours as well. Those kinds of sacrifices, the small ones like not being there for bedtime stories or the funny things a child says, missing the small moments of ones life that cannot be redone at a later date, make the sacrifice that much more significant.
I am personally greatful for people like that, who give unselfishly to provide not only livelyhoods, but also freedom for us. My husband is one such man. I am very blessed.
