and he's gone, now what

you know exactly how many weeks, days, hours and even minutes it's been since you last kissed him. it's been just a few weeks now. there have been a few calls or emails, maybe a couple of webcam sessions, but what else are you suppose to do to make the next few months go by just a little bit faster?

keep busy! everyone will tell you, you need to keep busy. and it's so true. the busier you are, the faster the time goes. and as much as you want to keep track of every minute since he's been gone, don't! it will make it seem like forever. instead, make yourself little milestones to look forward to: girls' night out, vacation or a trip to see the family, the next paycheck. and another thing, don't feel guilty for living life while your husband is doing his job. your job is to carry on at home, which means living. yes, it sucks that he can't go with you to that concert, but take pictures and make your own concert dvd for him so he can have his own little concert over there. find ways to incorporate your hero rather then keeping yourself from life. and the news, you remember, the news is 48 hrs old. if you hear it on the news and the military hasn't contacted you, it's not him! so, keep busy, live life, and if they haven't contacted you, put down the brown paper bag and breath.
