At Home with Heather

Sam has returned to Fort Bragg as of yesterday. I am very thankful I got to have about 5 days with him before he leaves on the 11th. We had a lot of fun just being together and enjoying each other's company. I will get to see him at least one more time at his "going away party" the Army is putting on for his team on Saturday. His brother David is probably going to come at the end of the week and we are going to try to spend a few extra days with him. As hard as it is to say goodbye over and over, I would never turn down the chance to see him even for a half a day. I know again someday we will be like normal married couples and be able to see each other every day. Absence DOES make the heart grow fonder for sure. It was nice to not have to sleep alone and I slept better the 5 nights I was with him than I have the last two months he has been gone. So as great as it was to see him for a few days I am anxious for the time he gets to finally come home for good.
