It's the night before. Not before Christmas, not before a wedding, not before a vacation. It is the night before you leave for Iraq and I am a mix of emotions that I am trying to keep under wraps. How do I feel? Proud, sad, sick, confident, indifferent, maybe even mad. One thing I am not feeling is despair for I know that you will come back to me. I hold on to the memories that I have burned into my conscious and every little thing we have shared and all the things that we will share in the future. I feel now more than ever, that it is my duty to give you all of me.. From the top of my head to my toes, from the top of my heart to the bottom, my mind, my body.. everything.
Your plane ride will be long, I know you will be focused on work and perhaps, every so often, I might creep into your mind and make you smile. Yeah, that's it, that one.The miles are far, the land so distant, but the connection that you and I have will endure all of that. I make my promise to you as I did earlier today. Me and you baby. No one else.
With that, get your mind right. You've got a lot of things ahead of you. I'm so very, very proud of you and your ambitions. You are my Superman and I am so happy that you are mine.
I LOVE YOU. YOU ARE THE LOVE OF MY LIFE. I WILL BE RIGHT HERE WAITING FOR YOU.
