But now I get it. The other person is not the better half of the couple. The other half just makes life better when you are a couple.
In December Josh and I were apart from Christmas to February. It sucked. At some point I just turned into a Crab Apple.
My mom has been staying with us to help with the boys for the last five weeks. Less than two weeks in she started to miss Dad. I almost laughed. Two weeks? Suck it up lady! But now we both understand.
It's scary to think that some day I might have to go months without seeing my husband. I used to think that military should be paid more for this inconvenience. Now that I've been there and done that, even for a short period of time, I know that money wouldn't fix the misery of being separated anyway from your better half.
