Well yesterday, February 18, 2010. We said our good byes at 6:45 and drove away. One of the hardest things I have to do. Watching Eric say good bye to Conner was really hard. They are so attached and love each other so much. I know over the next 10 months I will realize how much I take Eric for granted and how much I truly need him forever. He's an amazing Husband, and Father. He will be in Spain until June and then will go to Africa.. Which will be hard because it'll be harder to talk to him. So at least until June we can hear from him everyday, sometimes multiple times a day. He's amazing. We're so proud of him and everything that he does. You don't truly appreciate your spouse until you don't have him there. It's times like these I realize how lucky I am, and that I truly need him in my life until the end of time.
Conner misses him already. He cried last night for him. Broke my heart into a million pieces. He's such a Daddy's boy. He's at the age that he doesn't really understand. Which is good in someways but harder in other ways. But we're strong and we can stay strong for Daddy and let him know that we're missing him, but we're doing okay.
Our count down is 44 weeks or now 299 days. Day one was by far the worst day, usually is. Now it's time to move forward and just count down until he's home with us again. A little part of me hopes he comes home sooner, but I know that won't happen. We love and miss you Eric!
