The Night He Leaves is the Worst

[usafwife]

The night he leaves is always the worst, and it's very hard to describe. You are holding him, not wanting to let go, but you know you have to.

Once back home it really hits you! A lonely, lost and empty feeling. I realize I have to sleep alone, cry because all I have is a blanket and not the warmth of his body next to mine. I won’t have him in the car with me, can’t glance over at him and smile because he just grabbed my hand. I won’t be able to walk down the street holding his hand, I’ll just have to watch other couples enjoy what I don’t have for the moment. It’s really just an overwhelming sense of loneliness.

Yeah, we fight. But what couple doesn’t? I love him more than I’ve loved anyone, and I absolutely hate being separated from him. However, It will all be worth it when the day comes that he won’t have to leave ever again.
