My husband's leave has come and gone; first deployment, first leave. Let me tell you, it is so bittersweet. There is no better feeling than knowing that my husband is home, and that once again my family is whole. But then I have to face reality, it is only a matter of days before my son returns to asking where his dad is, before I am sleeping in a bed with the most important man in my life not next to me where he should be. It was just a matter of time before I would be getting up with Khloe in the middle of the night by myself. The moment he came home, my world was complete, and in a moment my world would shatter again.
I am so happy I had the opportunity to see my husband, for him to see how much Khloe has grown in the 4 months he's been gone, and the joy on our son's face is worth the pain of another good-bye. Those two weeks passed too quick. but they were the best two weeks of my life and I wouldn't trade them for the world. We spent the time together with just our little family, we went camping with his family, we went and spent time with my family. We managed to do a lot during those 2 weeks, and to me the leave was perfect, minus me getting sick.
The wait for him to arrive took forever, I was so anxious to just see him. We honestly didn't wait that long, but to me it was hell. I'm so glad that we were able to record Caiden seeing Kenny for the first time...he was just so happy and it seemed so surreal to him. He couldn't believe that Daddy was really holding him. He was touching his face, and poking him, as if he was wondering "Is it really you?". And we had so much family there to welcome him home.
The good-bye was quick, it was painful, and the hardest thing to do is watch my husband walk away and not run after him and bring him home where he belongs.
4 months down.....8ish to go.....I didn't want July to ever end, now I just want this year to be over!
