Day 109

I feel like these days are dragging on for an eternity... Like every time I look at the calendar, it's still the same number of weeks away as it was the last time I counted. I'm sure it must be even worse for you...

I catch myself daydreaming about your homecoming. A lot. I've had my outfit picked out for months. I know how I will wear my hair, my makeup. I can already feel the nervous anticipation creeping through my bloodstream... Perhaps that anticipation is what has also made time stand still. I've thought more than once that maybe Sleeping Beauty got the best deal out of the bunch... She got to sleep until her prince came home... No worrying, no nightmares, just sleeping until he planted a kiss on her. I wonder if she had to get up and make dinner after that nap?? They always leave those parts out of the fairy tales. ;)

I can't wait to touch your face, to be able to feel you and know that you're real.

I love you with every bit of my heart.

Very soon, I will be back in your arms.

Goodnight, soldier.
