hardest goodbye ever

my hubby left for BCT today. this is our first military separation...i was doing so good, being so strong, until this morning when i woke up in the wee hours the have a nice cry session because i realized it was the last time he'd be holding me for the next 6 months. the rest of the day i've been holding back tears. especially when he started talking to my belly and telling the baby how much he loved him. but the hardest part was hugging him and kissing him for the last time and watching him say goodbye to our daughter who later cried "daddy! daddy! i miss my daddy!" on the way home, which sent me into tears...anyone driving by had to wonder what was going on inside our car. haha. i'm sad, because i'm going to miss him, but i'm happy for him, and proud of him, and just so in love with him. i'm praying this time goes by fast and i'm so thankful we are anchored in the Lord. that in itself is going to make this time easier and more bearable. i can't wait to get that first letter from him...and i can't wait to start sending him my letters full of encouragement and love.
