The moment I heard the roar of the engines & saw the plane quickly approaching the runway. When I saw his strong stride & composure as he emerged from a sea of camo & knew it was him. The moment he finally saw me & smiled.. & I stuck my tongue out teasing him like always. When they dismissed the soldiers to reunite with their loved ones & I desperately maneuvered through a crowd of people to get to my love. The moment we found each other all at once & he lifted me into the air hugging & kissing the distance away never wanting to let go. When the long months of imagining that exact moment & how it couldn’t even compare to having your favorite person in the whole world safe & in your arms. The moment I thought that his bright eyes & smile were no longer on a screen or in a picture but right there in front of me & it’s the most mesmerizing, wonderful sight in the entire world. When he told me he loved me so much & kissed my face & my heart nearly burst out of my chest. The moment I got to witness him walking into our house for the first time & see his relief set in. When Thor got to see Daddy again & didn’t know how to handle it. The moment I got to see him get excited over driving a car. When I got excited to hold his hand at the grocery store. The moment he was sitting in our living room for the first time & I had to tell myself it wasn’t just another vivid dream. When he fell asleep I had to tip-toe to bed because it wasn’t just me anymore & I told myself I could tip-toe at night forever for that man. The moment I woke up in his arms feeling so warm & protected & I could breathe so freely. When I realized that there is so much ahead of us & I’m so glad we chose each other for this journey. & now the moment I write what it feels like to have my husband back from Afghanistan after 9 months of him being gone & I didn’t even try to hold back the tears. There are no words in any language that can accurately describe the amount of unfathomable joy & gratitude that overflows from inside of me. I don’t even know how to capture or begin to express how immense & beautiful all the little things in this life are. They’re so dear to me & they’re so very important with my husband. Distance is extremely, painfully, exhaustingly tough, but man we got through it & we got through it well & I can’t stop thanking God for the over abundance of strength & grace & love & everything that He gave us to get through. I’m literally beaming & I’ve never been more proud or amazed in my entire life. A bold statement, but a true one. Annnnd gosh….For all the ridiculously amazing family & friends that NEVER let me feel alone. I really can’t handle this. It’s all too much. I am overwhelmed. I love so deep & I’m feeling my heart swell. Welcome home Sgt. We’ve got so much life to live together. ❤️
