Today

Dave came home for a few days, a few days ago, and it was really wonderful! I took for granted even how nice it is to sleep next to him. I cried for the 8 days he was gone, but after 3 days home, and now he's back to work, I feel stronger. I haven't cried and sobbed, and I realize that I can do things on my own, not physically, I'm strong as hell, but mentally. Dave has always been such a support to me and now that I don't have that like I did I've become a stronger person. I think it's good after 12 1/2 years of marriage to still miss each other. The kids are doing great, they just go with the flow, I have so much to learn from them. Again, it's nice to get a paycheck. The snow is melting, that's so great!
