Sigh

What a wonderful weekend this has turned out to be. Eladio came in on Friday and for the first time in a long time I actually slept. It was wonderful to know that he is safe and out of harm's way, that he is with me. When I saw him in the airport I ran into his arms and we held each other for at least five minutes. The people around us must have thought we were crazy, with me crying and him laughing and holding me. But I didn't care. I held my darling for the first time in over a year, and have not been so happy in a long, long time.
I don't want to go to work tomorrow, because I won't see him until after 5. Sigh. Oh, well. We just have to make do with the time we do have together. And we have had a splendid weekend. Watching movies, shopping, and just being together.
It has been a litle hard some times, since it has been so long since the last time we saw each other, and he is having some trouble adjusting to being out of Iraq. Everytime we watch tv and thye mention the war on tv he gets really uncomfortable and usually heads out to smoke a cigarette. I hope that soon he can put it behind him.
At least, for the next few weeks at least, I can comfort him, and be there for him when he needs me. And to know that he is safe... I pray each night that he stays that way. It will be so hard once he leaves, since it will probably be another year before we see each other again. All we can do is our best... and hope it is still enough.
Take care, all, and I will talk to you all later. Good night.

Don't waste time on us if you can spend it with him! *grin*

(And what a lovely, appropriate icon!)

Why are you online?! Grahame's coming to visit in two weeks and, quite frankly, I plan on abandoning the lot of you for the whole six days ;)

*huggles you tightly*

I can't know how tough it is for you (although in a year or so I will), but I can offer to be here for hugs and comfort as and when you need them. But for now, go cuddle your sweetie for a long long time.

Oh yeah, and give him a hug from me, for making our girl all happy and smiley :D

I'm so happy for you, Pip. What long-awaited reunion!

*hugs you both*

Well, make the most out of your time together, and we will understand if we don't hear much from you in the meantime. And tell him "hi" from me, and thanks, for all he has done and is doing for us all.
