Day 9

I love that I'm getting to talk to you more. It certainly makes my days go faster. Love you and can't wait for you to come home.

Hung out with Jenn after work. We laughed a lot. A lot. I'm trying to stay busy like you asked, but I keep catching myself thinking of what you'd say if you were here and in the conversation. I realize now what a big help it is to be surrounded by other wives who are in the same position... They've all been such a big help... Especially in reminding me that I'm not alone.

I woke up this morning to an empty house for the first time in months. The quiet was unnerving. I guess it hit me today that I'm by myself. I'm doing fine, it was just an odd feeling.

The puppies say hi. They miss you and so do I. Talk to you soon, my sweet boy. Dreaming of your face. Goodnight.
