Malu left for a month's worth of training this morning. At the end of the day, my boss asked me how I was feeling about it. I said, "It sucks, but I'm okay, Sir!" He snickered and said, "That's what you say now, but I'm sure your Facebook status will say otherwise later on tonight." He was right. Not too long ago, I posted about how much I'm missing Malu already.
I'm not going to lie. This really sucks. I hate having to start another countdown. Granted, this is only until the end of this month, but no amount of time apart from a loved one--be it a few days, a week, etc.--is easy. And this is coming from someone who's about to go through her third deployment as an Army wife! It's harder now that I'm a mom and doing everything on my own with Sina, holding down my full-time job, and trying to keep house. It's exhausting just trying to get through each day. In fact, I feel all my energy draining out of me just thinking about trying to get through the next few weeks.
But you know what? I'm going to be fine. I always am. I'm stronger than I give myself credit for sometimes and I have a strong support system.
But Malu...Sina and I miss you so much and wish you all the best at training! We are so proud of you!
I posted this picture on my Facebook profile. It was taken at a monastery in Ettal, Germany. It's one of our favorite places to visit.
I love pictures of my sweetheart and our little girl. My loves. My life.
