As I woke up this morning, I almost forgot that Brenton had left in the wee hours of the morning. I turned over to snuggle with him, but all I woke up to was an empty bed and Occie Jim laying and purring in my neck. Oh how thankful I am for that little guy! I forget, I have my other cat Charma, and I love her too. It really is amazing how pets can make such a big impact in your life. Perhaps I should give them an extra treat or two tonight..
While it has certainly not been the first time Brenton and I have had to be apart, its different this time with having no family around. I understand its only for a short amount of time that he will be gone, but we have been together almost 24/7 for the past four months (despite the twenty minutes out of the day that he has to go and lock/unlock doors.) We have learned a lot in these few months. Not only are we husband and wife, we are best friends! We have been through so much together and that is how I know we can get through this and future deployments. God didn't promise days without pain, laughter without sorrow, nor sun without rain. But he did promise strength for the day, comfort for the tears, and light for the way. While it may not always be easy, with God's strength we know we can get through anything, just as our past proves! I love you Brenton, I will be praying for you and I know you will do great! See you soon!
