She takes that exrta hour to get ready so she looks just right. Her makeups perfect and she puts on that new outfit she just bought 3 hours earlier.

Her cell rings and the time has come, he's finally home again. The butterflies build up more then ever now. She can't get this smile off her face. Minutes feel like hours, but she's closer to him now then she's been in the past year.

He pulls up in his car and she has a billion different feelings running through her body. The tears roll down her face and his cheeks are wet too. He smells just the way he did when he left. She never forgot his smell. Her mans finally home where he should be.

2 weeks fly by when that's all you have to be together. For the last 2 weeks she put her life on hold. Now it's time for him to go back.

She takes that exrta hour to get ready so she looks just right. Her makeups perfect and she puts on a cute outfit she bought 14 days before.

The knots are coming by each minute passing. Hours feel like minutes. Why is the time flying now? It felt like forever to get to this moment.. but it came and now it's gone.

She holds his hand as tight as she can .. knowing how hard it is to let go. She hates letting go. There's a lump in her throat making it hard to swallow. They're on the way to the airport now.

The trees come and go as she looks out the window thinking how wonderful it was these past few weeks. She looks over at him every once in a while.. but not for too long because she feels her eyes water up so she looks away.

He gives her that smile telling her in silence that everythings going to be okay. But she knows in the minutes to come it's going to feel like her worlds falling apart again.

They're standing in the middle of the airport. Nobody matters to her but him. There's so much going on around them.. but they stand there in silence holding on as tight as they can. His lips touch her ear lightly as he says " I love you .. everythings going to be okay."

As she goes to walk away he pulls her back for one last kiss. She tried so hard to keep it together but she can't fight the tears anymore. As he walks away blowing her the final kiss she catches it and turns around.

His family's right there to pick her up. She's so very proud of her man. She prays every night for his safe homecoming. She loves him so much, and she knows no matter how much it hurts when he leaves it just makes it that much better when he comes home!

She gets in the car to her cell phone beeping. It's him.
"I miss you already baby. I'll be home soon. I love you always. Stay strong for me." And at that moment she knows everythings going to be okay. And all she can do is stand by her man.

thats just how it feels, when my man leaves to go back to virginia but i do know that he will be back and then when he finally gets out of the navy, we can start our lives together as husband and wife.

Wow, that definitely made me cry. I guess I needed a good one! Does it ever get easier? I absolutely hate the goodbye part. Its so hard.. Even when he is home with me, and the only 3 times I have seen him since he left for bootcamp were only for a weekend. And this last time was the first time we could sleep in the same bed together.. The first time in what seems like years, being that we lived together for 2 years prior to all of this. I didn't sleep. I just stayed awake, listened to him snore, didnt leave his chest. I guess I was scared he was going to be gone if I went to sleep. When it comes time for Sunday, I am constantly staring at the clock.. wishing it was Friday again.
Sorry, I didnt mean to threadjack.. I just want to know, how do I make it better? Does it get any easier?

Wow, that's exactly how it is.

To answer your question Celise, I don't think it gets any easier, at least not for me, still hurts as bad as the first time but with time you just find ways to deal with it better. I've found that I make myself extremely busy and the hurt is pushed back, still there but pushed back so it doesn't hurt as bad. You'll find your own way through this. Good luck.

OMG it's Andrea!
