Whew! Gearing up for a crazy week of no sleep, places to be and people to see. Today I worked a ten hour shift at Big R and didn't get home till five thirty. I have spent the last six hours feeding, singing, talking, playing, and just holding Mikey. Those ten hours all I could focus on was the smiles I wasn't seeing, the laughs I wasn't hearing, the Cheerio breath I wasn't smelling... each minute was a minute I can't get back. I held him for hours after he fell asleep just listening to him breath and clinging to every detail of his face. Dreading work again tomorrow because once again I am missing out on so much!
Then Michael called...
And might I say I am a blessed wife and Mikey is one blessed kid. People always tell you about the "sacrifices" military make for their country. I didn't realize missing out on your kids was one of them. Michael has been gone for a month now and has not complained once. I was gone for a hour before every one at work had to hear about how deprived I was. Michael will be gone for two months so he can better our lives with his awesome new job. That my friends is providing for your family. That is selflessness. That is a husband a wife can be proud of. That is a daddy a boy can look up to. Everything in my life right now Michael built with me and I am thankful for how hard he worked and continues to work to provide for our family. I didn't realize how much he sacrifices for us until today... and quite honestly I am completely and totally blown away by the man I am so fortunate to have married.
Yup, Michael is a awesome guy. Hands down one of the best.
