Do you remember when you were little and you had to play the waiting game? I remember doing that and I don't think I liked it all that much. I didn't like having to wait for something I really wanted. Just like then, I am playing the waiting game. The waiting game this time is when I will hear from Adam next and the biggest waiting game...waiting for October to get here so I can fly out and see him. I never know when he is going to call, when I will get a letter or anything. All I know is that he loves me and I love him. I can feel his love all around me all the time. It's probably the reason I have gotten through this so far. The last time Adam and I got to talk was Thursday, and then yesterday I got a LETTER! A very, very short one but at least it was a letter. I finally got to send my letters to him.
Everyday I sit, wait and listen to see if my phone starts to ring. I wait til 7 o'clock at night everyday. Because I know he won't get to call after 7 seeing as it is 9 there and that is their lights out time. I realize that those are the two things I hold on to: Letter and phone calls. They mean so much to me and I can't even describe it. You don't realize what you have til it's gone. You don't realize how lucky you are to come home and snuggle with your husband and talk to him at your lunch break. Being away during the day is one thing because you know you'll see your loved one later that day. When Adam is gone across the country and can't use him phone, it's a different story. All the Small things become the BIG things and they mean that much more to you. What I would give to just hug and kiss Adam right now. I can always write to him how much I love him, but I can't show it to him right now. I think about him non-stop all day long and worry about him to. I always wonder what he is doing and if he's okay. I'm always catching myself wanting to text him and tell him that I love him.
So til the next phone call, or the next letter I wait anxiously.
Here is a quote I found by Gordon B. Hinckley titled True LOVE:
"True love is not so much a matter of romance. As it is a matter of anxious concern for the well-being of one's companion."
That is so true!
Sorry for all the rambling on and on about my life.
