I really miss my hubby today. I have all week. This separation is like the ocean...it ebbs and flows like the tide. Right now, I'm not sure if I should consider myself at high tide...or low.
I have felt extremely close to him all week, most likely spurred on by our anniversary, and all that that entails...but at the same time, the wait is making me weary. I'm so tired of being apart! But it's not constructive to feel that way. Not like I can do anything about it, after all...except to stand. So...I'm standing.
But I don't have to like it! And I don't.
*sigh*
In other news...I just received some very sad news from someone who is fast becoming a good friend, and my heart is aching for her and her family. I don't know which is harder in the long run...to watch someone slowly slip away from this life, but have the ability to give their loved ones closure at the end, or to lose someone so quickly that you never have the chance to say goodbye, and tell them how much they mean to you.
If there is one lesson I have learned in this life, it's this: Cherish your loved ones while you can. Hold them close, speak kind words to them...share your heart. Because we can never know until it's too late whether or not we will get that special blessing of closure in the end.
To my friend: May God bless you and your family, and may His Mercy and Grace follow you all the days of your lives. Be sure that I will hold you all in my heart and my prayers as you go through this next few weeks.
