one of those thoughts

A friend of mine posted a picture on FB a little ago of her Navy husband kissing her goodbye at the airport. Immediately I started thinking about all the times I've had to say goodbye to A, and how badly my heart ached. Luckily, we haven't had to go through a deployment yet... but we will someday.
So, I've been thinking about it for a little while... and my mind somehow got wrapped around a very interesting thought...

Its extremely hard for us to say goodbye to the one we love... to hug & kiss them & then watch them walk away....
but can you imagine how hard it is for them... to gain the strength & be the one that has to walk away- from the one that THEY love...

I'm not sure I'd ever be strong enough to do that- but I truly do envy those that do. <3


{I love you A}
