They know that tomorrow they will see one another and it doesn't really matter if they spend ample time together today.
The sad reality of it all is most of us without even thinking are stuck in this rat race of American life. Trying to get that extra inch, that extra mile, or maybe even that extra dollar when it's not really worth it. So take a step back and smell the air around you or kiss the one you love, because tomorrow or the next day you may not see them for a very long time.
And those times can be the hardest of all.
Indeed. That's why we live by the saying "live everyday as if they deploy tomorrow". It has been hard for us lately, I am not gonna lie. Chris and I have hit some major speed bumps as of late, but we are still here and kicking. I completely get what you are saying about time with the babies and the wifey. As a wife, I sit back and try to memorize every detail, because soon enough I won't see him in his recliner reading to the girls, or hear his over dramatic gagging noises when he changes the baby's diaper. This life is hard, for both service memeber and spouse. I am glad to have a service member's point of view though, maybe it will help me understand Chris a little more.
