We miss you already!!!!

I took this picture this morning as daddy was getting some good cuddle time in with the girls before we took him to the airport. It's always hard when he leaves. And let's face it we are more than familiar with deployments and saying goodbye, we've done 3 long cruises and several det's.

But this isn't like any of those, this is 13 months of not living together, 13 months......

This is with children, our precious little girls that will miss their daddy. Aynslee said as we were pulling away from dropping him off, "I don't want my daddy to leave us." If it wasn't hard enough saying goodbye to him hearing my little girl say that, really made it even harder.

I try to keep reminding myself that we will see him in just a few months. It's not going to be an entire year without seeing him but I don't know exactly when we will see him again.

I know that I am not alone. There are other wives that have done this, or are doing this. I know we can get through it and we will. The girls and I will find a routine, find things to keep us busy and I will manage being a single parent for a while, trying to find the balance and stay sane in the process.

We miss you daddy!!!! And we love you!!!
